Vinícius Jr's Girlfriend's Bombshell: I Must Get My Intimate Creams Cleared or He Could Be Banned!
Brazilian influencer Virginia Fonseca has set tongues wagging across the football world following a jaw-dropping revelation.
The 26-year-old mother of three has spilled the beans on the extraordinary lengths she goes to in her romance with Real Madrid superstar Vinícius Júnior. The influencer, boasting more than 54 million followers on Instagram, confessed that even her most personal hygiene products require official sign-off to avoid landing her beau in hot water with anti-doping authorities.
Fonseca, who has been dating the Brazilian star since last year, opened up in a candid chat with journalist Leo Dias, exposing the high-stakes rules governing their love life. With Vinícius's career hanging in the balance, every ointment or cream she uses must be vetted by his team of experts, lest it trigger a positive test during intimate moments.
The Doping Drama: Shaking with Fear Over Forbidden Creams
Recounting the moment she learnt of the peril, Fonseca admitted: “When they told me that, I started shaking. I thought, ‘My God, could I have used something I shouldn’t have?’ I swear I started trembling.”
She explained that Vinícius himself laid down the law: “He told me: ‘Anything you’re going to use, you have to tell me beforehand, because it could cause a doping issue. An intimate cream, an ointment, anything that might come into contact with me could lead to a positive test. And if that happens, I’m out.’”
Now, before applying any gynaecological product, Fonseca dutifully forwards details to Vinícius' physiotherapist for clearance. “For example, if I go to the gynaecologist and need to use an ointment, I have to check with his physiotherapist, because it could trigger a doping test,” she revealed.
This precaution stems from the strict regulations in professional sport, where even trace substances could spell disaster for the 25-year-old Los Blancos star.
Strict Diets, No Dinners Out, and Total Commitment
But the restrictions don't stop at the bedroom door. Fonseca painted a picture of a relationship that is as regimented as Vinícius's training regime. “Diet, going out to dinner, he doesn’t eat out. We eat at home,” she said, highlighting their homebound meals to maintain peak performance.
The couple adheres to a meticulous schedule, with Fonseca insisting: “I’m very happy in this relationship, which is why I make it a priority and work to make it function. It’s a demanding relationship, you have to have a schedule for everything and follow it perfectly.”
Despite the demands, Fonseca appears smitten, frequently sharing loved-up snaps on her Instagram where she flaunts their jet-set lifestyle. The pair, who went public last summer, have become a power couple in Brazil, blending her influencer empire with his football fame. Virginia celebrated three months of their relationship last month with a heartwarming post on Instagram that was captioned: "Another 28th day without being next to my love, but every day more in love!! Thank you for showing up and taking such good care of me and mine 💖 💜 💙 I love you so much, happy 3 months, I'm your fan @vinijr ❤️"
