The Argentinean star first met his wife in their hometown of Rosario during childhood. The couple have been together for almost two decades, getting married in 2017. They have three sons, Thiago, Mateo, and Ciro. Despite rumors about a strain in their relationship, coupled with marital issues and potential separation, their love has remained enduring.
