Giannina Maradona is the daughter of football legend Diego Maradona and the former wife of football superstar Sergio Aguero. One could say she is a part of a football dynasty as not only was she birthed by a great footballer, she also married one. It could seem like history repeated itself again when her marriage came to an end, as that of her parents did not stand the test of time.
Giannina was born on May 16, 1989, in Argentina. Unfortunately, there is no information about her early childhood and education.
Facts About Giannina Maradona

Giannina’s father’s name can be heard in every household because of how famous he was as a footballer. He was a striker known for wearing the number 10 jersey and was a force to be reckoned with on the pitch during his football days. After he stopped playing football, he went on to become a football manager.
Giannina and the rest of her family members stepped into the lime light as a result of their father’s legacy. When her father found out about her divorce, he was not in support of it and clearly stated this fact to his dear daughter.
