Introducing Vinicius' influential girlfriend

The Brazilian football star is dating Maria Julia Mazzalli, a well-known influencer and reality TV star in Brazil.

Born on October 30, 1995, she rose to fame after appearing on the Brazilian reality show De Férias com o Ex (On Vacation With My Ex).

The 29-year-old has over 900,000 Instagram followers, where she shares tips on healthy living, fashion, and beauty.

She also has a popular YouTube channel with 78,800 subscribers and a TikTok following of 400,000.

Rumours of their relationship began in 2019, though Vinicius initially denied them.

Eventually, the couple started sharing photos together, confirming the romance.

Maria often spends time in Madrid, occasionally posting from Vinicius's home—a detail fans picked up when they noticed similar backgrounds in their photos.

Is Vinicius dating a 33-year-old singer?

Meanwhile, Tribuna reported that Vinicius was involved with 33-year-old Venezuelan singer Corina Smith, known for her TV roles and music career.

Fans even spotted them together at a concert, where they shared a hug.

Corina later addressed the rumours in an interview, saying via Tribuna:

"I saw what was written about us, and we even sent each other memes that everyone shared. Vinicius and I are very good friends."

Why Vinícius could be banned from football

Meanwhile, Vinicius Junior finds himself at the centre of a growing controversy that could derail his promising career.

The Brazilian winger is being scrutinised for alleged involvement in club ownership, a violation that, if proven, could trigger a two-year suspension.

At the heart of the issue is Vinicius' reported connection to several football teams through a company associated with his close associates.

According to Madrid Universal, citing Spanish outlet Marca, a formal complaint has been submitted to FIFA’s Ethics Committee by Tiberis Do Brasil Holding.

The complaint, lodged on April 7, alleges that Vinicius, through a business linked to his father and agent Thassilo Soares, maintains direct or indirect stakes in professional clubs, an action strictly forbidden under FIFA’s Code of Ethics.

Vinicius opens up after Ballon d'Or heartbreak

In an earlier article, YEN.com.gh reported that Vinicius shared his reaction after just missing out on the Ballon d'Or.

The Brazilian standout was considered a top contender for the award, but it ultimately went to Manchester City’s Rodri.

Notably, neither Vinicius nor any Real Madrid representatives were present at the 68th Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris.
