Luis Suarez Celebrates 18 Year Anniversary With His Wife!
Luis Suarez Celebrates 18 Year Anniversary With His Wife! The Uruguayan posted a celebratory message on his Instagram. At only 33 years of age, Suarez has been with Sofia Balbi for an incredible 18 years.
Luis Suarez started dating Sofia Balbi in the early 2002, at the age of 15. A year later Sofia Balbi’s family moved to Barcelona, Spain.
This motivated the striker to focus on his football. Suarez’s long term wish to move to Europe was granted when he signed for Groningen in 2006. He was able to continue dating her while in Holland.
Luis Suarez married Sofia Balbi in 2009. The Suarez’s moved to Liverpool, England in 2011 when Luis Suarez left Ajax Amsterdam.
The family continued to feel out of place in the torrential rain in England. This pushed Luis Suarez to lodge a formal transfer request with Liverpool.
In 2014, F.C Barcelona lodged a 75M pound transfer offer for Luis Suarez to Liverpool. “Liverpool did all they could to get me to stay, but playing and living in Spain, where my wife’s family live, is a lifelong dream and ambition. I believe now the timing is right.”
The Suarez’s then moved to Barcelona, where the striker would play the best football of his life. The move was perfect because they lived close to Sofia Balbi’s family.
The titanic friendship of Luis Suarez and Leo Messi saw their wives become friends and business partners. Sofia Balbi and Antonella Roccuzzo (Messi’s wife) have opened a fashion boutique together.
Thursday (8 October 2020) saw the couple celebrate a mammoth anniversary. Luis Suarez celebrates 18 year anniversary with his wife!
