So much has been written and said about Sergio Aguero And Giannina Maradona, his ex-wife, some of which could be true and accurate, while others are simply very far from the truth. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to marry into the family of a football great, especially one as legendary and iconic as Diego “the Hand of God” Maradona, who is worshipped as a soccer god all over the world.
Many still didn’t know what went wrong with this perfectly matched couple’s marriage between Aguero and Giannina that led to their breakup, and as the couple themselves have refused to give an explicit detail of what transpired between them, it has remained a subject of serious speculations.
With that said, there are some things we have unraveled about the relationship of the two and how it came to an untimely end.
Who is Sergio Aguero?
Sergio Leonel Aguero is one who needs no introduction, most especially among fans of football. He is an Argentine footballer player plying his trade in the EPL with Manchester City football club and is regarded as one of the best strikers to have played the game.
He was born on June 2, 1988, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He is known to many fans of the EPL and football in general as Kun Aguero – a nickname given to him by his parents, because of his love for the anime kum-kum, and his resemblance to one of its characters.
Who is Giannina Maradona?
Giannina Maradona, on the other hand, is not all that famous. She is the second daughter and last child of Diego Maradona, the Argentine footballer and now coach, who many believe to be one of the greatest footballers to have ever played the modern game of football.
She was born on May 16, 1989, in Argentina, and was the product of the union between Maradona and Claudia Villafane, along with her elder sister, Dalma. Giannina and her sister grew up as offsprings of the legendary Diego Maradona, who enjoys god-like followership among football lovers in Argentina and all over the world; hence she was treated like royalty anywhere she goes.
How Sergio Aguero And Giannina Maradona Met
Sergio and Giannina probably met at one of the numerous football or social events that Maradona attends with his children. It is believed that Diego himself even introduced them to each other, and she must have impressed or enthralled Sergio so much that they struck up a relationship soon afterward.
They began a relationship that went on well for some time, rumored to be about 6 months, and soon enough Sergio asked for her hands in marriage, and with daddy’s blessings, they got married in 2008.

Their Married Life
At the time of their marriage, Sergio was still based in Spain and playing for Atletico Madrid FC. On February 19, 2009, Sergio Aguero And Giannina Maradona welcomed their first child – a son named Benjamin. Life was good for the couple, and they were regularly seen together at both football and social events together. Pictures of the couple and their handsome little prince also flooded their social media handles and timelines much to the admiration of their teeming fans.
When Sergio moved from Atletico Madrid to the emerging English Premier club, Manchester City, after their take over by a rich owner, it was noticed that Giannina wasn’t seen with her husband in numerous events like they were seen in the past. Some rumors came to the fore that she did not like England, and did not really want to move there with their son, leaving Sergio alone most times by himself.
In fact, Sergio was unsettled initially without his family around him at his new club and home, but familiar faces in the locker room helped him settle down better. When Benjamin didn’t get any younger brother or sister from the couple, then rumors started flying around the grapevine.
Sergio Aguero And Giannina Maradona Divorce
When news filtered out that the couple was getting divorced in 2012, just 4 years after their marriage, it left many unfazed by it. After their divorce was officially announced without giving reasons for the split, many versions of what tore apart the union began to surface.
Some claimed that Aguero was not pleased with his wife’s heavy partying habits and when he couldn’t take it anymore, he decided to pull the plug on the marriage to better focus on his life and career. Another version had it that it was actually Giannina that sought for the dissolution of the marriage as she was fed up with his philandering and unfaithfulness while married; it was rumored that while they were still married, Aguero was having a secret love affair with a popular Argentine singer.
The divorce between Sergio Aguero And Giannina Maradona didn’t go down well with Giannina’s father – who was very fond of Sergio, called him a wimp for the divorce, so much so that he even refused to mention his name directly while referring to him. They have both moved on with their lives from the split and are friends, as they both have to raise their son to become a better man in the future.
Life After Divorce
Both Sergio Aguero And Giannina Maradona have since seemed to have moved on with their individual lives since their marriage ended in divorce. The Manchester City star man has since dated a number of other beautiful women including Argentinian singer Karina Tejeda whom he dated shortly after his marriage. Karina’s first marriage had also ended before the two started dating.
Next, Aguero was linked to Instagram model, Zoe Cristofoli who gained fame for her overwhelming tattoos that cover a significant part of her body.
