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
1. Her is the legendary 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.
2. She was raised with a brother and a sister
Giannina has older siblings their names are Dalma (sister) and Diego Sinagra (brother) she is the youngest of them. Her mother, Claudia Villafane got married to her father, Diego in November 1984. Giannina’s parents later got divorced because of her father’s drug problem and infidelity which made his family suffer in all ways. At some point her mother couldn’t take it anymore and decided to call it quits.
Giannina’s sister said in a statement that their parent’s divorce was the best solution to the plight of her family at that time. Despite being divorced their parents still remained friends for the most part.
3. Giannina Maradona was married to Sergio Aguero
Giannina was married to football star Aguerro, in 2008 but they got a divorce in 2012. A lot of reasons, including Giannina’s heavy partying, have been speculated to be the reason behind the divorce, but nothing is confirmed by the duo involved.
4. They are blessed with a son
The beauty and her ex-husband have a child named Benjamin on the 19th of February 2009. Benja as his grandfather calls him is the Apple of their eyes, his grandfather loves him so much and brags about him to everyone who cares to listen. Giannina and her ex-husband still maintain a cordial relationship for the sake of their son.
