SOFIA BALBI (33)

-

After meeting Sofia when she was 13, Uruguayan striker LUIS SUÁREZ called her the “girl of my life”.

He was so in love with her that when her family moved to Barcelona, Spain, he followed her to Europe where he played for BarÇa. “It was a big change in my life for good,” Suárez (35) says. “I’ve always said she was a help not only off the pitch, but also on it. She’s always guided me.”

The couple have three kids, Delfina (12), Benjamin (9) and Lautaro (4), and although Sofia is mostly a stay-athome mom, she’s also an entreprene­ur involved in various business ventures.
