Jorgelina Cardoso was born in Rosario, Argentina, in 1982. She met with Angel Di Maria in the same neighborhood and soon started dating. Interestingly, the Argentina superstar is five years junior to Jorgelina. After years of courtship, the star couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2011. Similar to Di Maria, his 41-year-old partner shares a deep connection with sports. Various sources suggest that Jorgelina works as a sports agent. Moreover, she actively challenges gender inequality in sports.
That’s not all. Di Maria’s WAG is a woman of many talents. She reportedly owns a clothing store and a restaurant in Buenos Aires. Amid this busy schedule, Jorgelina is also comfortable being the lady boss of the Di Maria household. She and the 2022 World Cup winner have been raising two daughters- Mia Di Maria and Pia Di Maria. Mia was born in 2013. Di Maria and Jorgelina welcomed Pia in 2017.
Jorgelina has accompanied Di Maria to different cities during his illustrious stints with multiple European clubs. However, the reigning World Champion’s chapter in Manchester did not go well with the family.
When Jorgelina got candid about England
After winning a UEFA Champions League with Real Madrid in 2014, Angel Di Maria joined Manchester United. A move to England was the last thing Jorgelina wanted. “I said to him, ‘Go to any country – except England’. “Anyway, one year later and there we were in England and it was horrible, a sh*thole,” said Jorgelina in an interview.
Di Maria’s days in England came to a dismal end, and he left Manchester United within a year to plie his trade for French giants PSG. Anyhow, besides the Argentine’s Manchester stint, his adventures for other clubs and country have brought mirth to Jorgelina.
