Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez and his wife, Valentina Cervantes, have announced their separation two years after marriage.
Enzo Fernandez’s estranged wife, Cervantes, confirmed this development through an emotional message on her Instagram story earlier today, October 31.
The couple, who have two young children together, are navigating personal challenges that have prompted them to take a step back from their union.
In her social media post, Cervantes shared, “Enzo and I have decided to take some distance from each other today.”
Cervantes emphasized their commitment to co-parenting, reassuring their followers of their dedication to their children’s well-being. “But we will always be family, and we will support each other in everything. Because there are two children involved who need a lot of love from us,” she wrote.
In her heartfelt message, Cervantes expressed a deep respect for Fernandez, acknowledging his character and parenting skills. She remarked, “I know the person Enzo is and what an excellent father he is, as well as the heart he has. And that is enough for me.”
Insights from Argentine media have shed light on the couple’s private discussions, revealing that Fernandez, 23, has voiced a desire for greater independence. He has expressed a need to explore different life stages that he feels he has missed out on due to his early family commitments.
On the professional front, Fernandez has encountered a challenging season since his record-breaking transfer from Benfica to Chelsea for £105 million in January 2023.
Initially, he was seen as an important player at the club and was appointed to the leadership group and even captained the team in several matches. However, in recent weeks, he has found his starting position increasingly threatened by teammate Romeo Lavia, further complicating an already tumultuous period in his career.
