The 25-year-old Real Madrid star has been involved in romantic entanglements in the past, but his new partner appears deeply enamored with the Brazilian winger, topping off a daring outfit with a collar bearing his name.
Virginia, a 26-year-old TV presenter and influencer, embraced the carnival spirit in a sexy feline costume. She showcased her long legs and curves in a waist-high bodysuit and knee-high black boots, accessorized with cat ears, claws, and the personalized collar.
Ahead of the Grande Rio Carnival, Virginia shared these eye-catching photos with the caption: "Loving every moment of this carnival!!! For GSHOW, we recreated the iconic 1998 look of diva Luma de Oliveira."
Reports indicate the couple has been together for three months. However, last October, the winger faced embarrassment after Virginia discovered he had sent flirtatious messages to another woman, prompting a public apology from him. At the time, he stated, "We all go through moments that lead to reflection and growth. A recent situation made me reflect and recognize actions that did not align with the person I aspire to be or the relationships I wish to build."
"Virginia is an incredible woman, an admirable mother, and someone for whom I hold deep affection and respect. Since we met, she has traveled to Madrid three times to see me, leaving behind her routine, commitments, and life just to be together. I have met an extraordinary mother and an amazing partner."
"Although we were not officially a couple at the time, a sincere connection existed. I am not ashamed to admit I was careless, did not respond in the best way possible, and let her down."
"For this reason, I wish to apologize openly and sincerely, because I believe a genuine relationship can only exist with respect, trust, and transparency. Now, the focus is on starting anew—without lies, arguments, or pretenses. With abundant love, tenderness, and respect."
However, Virginia has dismissed rumors in Brazil suggesting the couple is nearing marriage. Speaking ahead of her carnival dance performance, she remarked, "You [reporter Leo Dias] have rarely been wrong about news concerning me, but this time you are completely off track. Marriage? Goodness! We just started dating—it hasn't even been three months. If you mean the relationship is intense, that's true, but there's no talk of marriage, no engagement, nothing."
When asked which partner is more intense in the relationship, she replied, "It's obvious [that it's me]. My relationship with Viní is teaching me a lot. I am very intense, and he is not. He says, 'Calm down, take it easy,' and I am learning."
"When one person is too intense, it's quite difficult—you suffer a lot because only you are moving at that pace; no one else is. My relationship with Viní will be very helpful for me to learn self-control, to be less intense, to think more, and to act more cautiously."
She added, "I am completely in love! I am very happy with Viní. I feel loved, and everything has been wonderful, truly incredible."
