Enzo Fernandez's partner opens up on Chelsea star's decision to break off their relationship 'with no warning' and why she gave him a second chance
Enzo Fernandez 's partner Valentina Cervantes has admitted it was a 'difficult decision' to give the Chelsea star a second chance after their shock split last year.
Fernandez split from his childhood sweetheart in October last year in a move that reportedly blindsided his 25-year-old influencer partner and mother of his two children.
Cervantes had later shared that she still loved the midfielder and wished him nothing but the best.
Following the split, Cervantes returned to Argentina with their children Olivia and Benjamin, before flying back to London for New Year together as a family.
Fernandez and Cervantes were then spotted kissing and holding hands in the capital to spark suggestions the relationship was back on.
She underlined the reconciliation in April by sharing a photo with her Instagram followers of Fernandez in bed in a Madrid hotel room, before joining the Argentine on the pitch after Chelsea's triumph in the Conference League.
Cervantes was asked about the split and reconciliation with Fernandez on the the Multitalenttv show 'Don't Think So Much'.
'Second chances always come, generally with anyone. Because we're human beings and we can make mistakes,' Cervantes said when asked why she gave Fernandez a second chance.
'No more third chances, there's no third or fourth. We're doing very well now; we've known each other for a long time. Enzo looks at me now and knows what's going on with me.
'The decision to come back was difficult.'
When confirming the split last October, Cervantes said they had agreed to put 'space' between them.
The split had reportedly occurred with Fernandez telling her 'from one day to the next' he didn't want to be with her anymore.
During the split, Fernandez was linked to Argentine rapper and model Nicki Nicole, but Nicole was quick to refute suggestions that the pair were an item.
A bombshell report earlier this year claimed Fernandez had in part reunited with the mother of his children after an Argentina team-mate had made a move on Cervantes during the split.

Fernandez had also been linked to the model Pampita Ardohain during his time apart from Cervantes.
Cervantes revealed she had been contacted directly by the model to dispel the reports, with the 25-year-old declaring rumours had been 'invented' during her time apart from Fernandez.
She suggested that the brief split has made her relationship with the Chelsea and Argentina star stronger, while claiming the time apart had changed her.
'You realise a lot of things and appreciate other things a lot more,' Cervantes said.
'Looking back on it today, I loved it, it was good. We came together when we were very young, we never separated.
'I'm not the Valentina I was before the split. If Enzo used to tell me about going on vacation just the two of us, I told him I wouldn't leave the kids alone. Nowadays, I'm more accepting of that.
'Nowadays, I'll let them stay for three days, no more than that, and then I miss them.
'One thing we have is that we don't fight, we never fight, for us, that's key. We already know each other so well.

Gwyneth Paltrow reveals what makes her cry while cooking her 'full italian boyfriend breakfast'
Gwyneth Paltrow spent her Saturday morning shedding a few tears while preparing breakfast. The 52-year-old actress shared a new video on Instagram Saturday, sharing her making what she called the 'full Italian' breakfast. 'The 'full Italian' #boyfriendbreakfast—my riff on a full English,' she said in the caption. Last weekend, she shocked fans by posting a video of preparing her 'boyfriend breakfast' while topless, though she was fully clothed in this latest video. She did shed a few tears, though, because she had to cut up some onions as part of her meal prep. The video - set to the Royal Otis song Egg Beater - showed Paltrow getting ready for her breakfast in a loose white top, white pants and black slippers. She was seen peeling a potato and then putting it in a special grinder to make fresh hash browns, as she rinsed them off in a strainer. She then rung out all of the moisture from the potatoes in a kitchen towel before wiping tears away while holding up an onion before slicing it up. The Goop founder then put butter in a pan and started making her hash browns, before putting a few sausage links and a few curled Cumberland sausages on the grill. She then put some thin slices of capicola in a pan and put them in the oven with a few sliced tomatoes. Paltrow then showcased a sunny-side up egg and her her full cooked and plated breakfast as the video came to an end. The 'full English' breakfast is a popular U.K. breakfast that includes bacon, sausages, eggs, black pudding, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and toast, Paltrow recently opened up about how she achieves her enviable physique back in April on her Goop podcast. At the time, she confessed that while she had been sticking to the Paleo diet for years, she had now become 'sick' of it and had decided to start feasting on more carbs as of late. The Paleo diet is based on foods that people ate during the Paleolithic Era - which dates back to 2.5 million years ago - and includes mostly fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts, and seeds, according to Mayo Clinic. Although its followers boast of benefits including weight loss, a smaller appetite and more energy, there has been little research into its effects. 'I went into hardcore macrobiotic for a certain time, that was an interesting chapter where I got obsessed with eating very, very healthily,' Paltrow explained. 'I really deepened my connection with food and the whole philosophy around macrobiotics, which is essentially just how they eat in the mountains of Japan, so very local and seasonal. 'Lots of fish, vegetables, rice, no diary, no sugar etc. I think that period of time I might have got a little didactic about it.'

Revealed in a shocking new book a year after the death of French screen legend Alain Delon... My father was 'the most beautiful man in movie history' – but he also beat up my mother and pointed a gun at me
The 'ice cold angel' of the golden age of French cinema, Alain Delon's mesmerising sex appeal was always tinged with a hint of danger. Dishonourably discharged from the French Navy after a tour of duty in Indochina, and caught up in a gangsters-and-orgies scandal in 1968, no one doubted that the man who memorably unzipped Marianne Faithfull's motorbike leathers with his teeth was a fighter as well as a lover.
