In his heartfelt tribute, Vinicius wrote:
"Thank you for everything! Every moment and every lesson learned by your side has been unforgettable! I wish you all the best and much success in your life! I hope you are very happy. I will always be grateful for you having dedicated a part of your life to me. Take good care of yourself!"
Fonseca had initially confirmed the separation on May 15, speaking to her followers about the importance of living authentically while maintaining her identity during a high-profile relationship. She reflected on her personal approach to life and relationships, emphasizing emotional honesty and self-expression.
She wrote:
"I will always allow myself to live. To truly live, without fear, without calculations, and without ceasing to be who I am. While we were together, I dedicated myself fully, as I do to everything I set out to do in my life. After all, I've always been very intense, always very focused on our dreams and my responsibilities. But I'm also a woman, and I wanted to allow myself to experience that without creating any barriers, while preserving the respect I've always had in any relationship."
With the breakup now publicly confirmed by both parties, Vinicius is expected to shift his focus back to football. The Real Madrid forward has one remaining La Liga fixture against Athletic Club on May 23, before turning his attention to international duty with Brazil for the 2026 World Cup. Brazil are placed in Group C alongside Morocco, Haiti, and Scotland.
