Real Madrid superstar Vinicius Junior officially revealed that he has a new girlfriend this week - and she's a well-known influencer in the Latin world.
The Brazilian winger, 25, and Virginia Fonseca, 26, confirmed their rumoured relationship with a smitten post on Instagram.
In the snap, shared just weeks after the pair briefly parted ways, they cuddled up together in front of a sign reading 'love'.
And Vinicius's team-mates, both international and at club level, were quick to congratulate him on the news. Neymar joked "little boy is loving it" before Eduardo Camavinga added "things in loveeee".
But who exactly is Virginia Fonseca, the new influencer-turned-presenter WAG at the Bernabeu?
She's something of a household name back in Brazil, boasting a whopping 53 million followers on Instagram and some 40 million on TikTok.

It was at the age of 17, almost a decade ago, that she shot to fame on YouTube. Virginia had grown up in Brazil after being born in Connecticut, United States.
'I started working with YouTube in 2017,' Fonseca once explained. 'I discovered that I wanted to do this when I moved to Portugal. My Instagram had grown a bit. I already had 10,000 followers and friend of mine here in Brazil said that I should create a channel.
'My cousin from Portugal already had one and helped me. I created it and started to enjoy it. By my third video I already had 100,000 subscribers.'
Fonseca's internet profile continued to grow from there, with the Brazilian-American eventually being handed her own television show titled Sabadou com Virginia, or Saturday with Virginia, on major South American TV network SBT.
In the midst of her professional success, she also began dating Brazilian country music star Ze Felipe in the late-2010s. Felipe boasts some 13 million monthly listeners on Spotify.
The pair later married in 2021 and have three children, Maria Alice, Maria Flor and Jose Leonardo. But their relationship ultimately came crashing down earlier this year in news which shocked fans in their native Brazil.
Announcing their split with a heartfelt post on Instagram in July, the former couple wrote: 'Always together and now in a different way. Not being together as a couple will never be a reason for us not to value everything we've built, a beautiful family.
'We lived it intensely, we grew closer, we discovered the joy of being parents, and we were partners in every moment. We root for each other and that's how we'll continue. We chose honesty and not a life of appearances, because this is who we are.'

Fonseca and Felipe later added that they 'cried all night' after making the decision to 'end things in the best way possible'.
Yet it was just months later that Fonseca moved on with Los Blancos star Vinicius. While the pair did not initially confirm their relationship, she was reportedly spotted in the stands at the Bernabeu up to three times during the early weeks of this season.
Their blossoming relationship however hit the rocks in early October amid rumours Vinicius had been messaging another model.
Fonseca called time on their romance, briefly, before taking the Brazilian footballer back after he issued her a grovelling apology in an Instagram story.
Vinicius wrote: 'We all go through moments that make us reflect and grow.
'Recently, I experienced a situation that made me reflect and recognise attitudes that did not represent who I want to be or the type of relationships I want to build.
'Virginia is an incredible woman, an admirable mother, and someone for whom I feel enormous affection and respect.
'Since we met, she has come to Madrid three times to see me, leaving behind her routine, her commitments, and her life just to be with me. I met an admirable mother and an incredible partner.
'Although we were not yet officially a couple, there was a sincere connection.

'I am not ashamed to admit that I was careless, that I did not respond in the best possible way and that I disappointed her.'
The apology worked, with the couple this week officially going public for the first time.
After sharing the aforementioned smitten snaps expressing their romance, Fonseca also posted glamorous pictures from the stands of the Bernabeu.
Donning the new Real Madrid kit, the influencer-turned-presenter proved she and Vinicius are well and truly back on track by supporting him at El Clasico on Sunday.
