[Saba Sports News] British media recently published a feature about Mandinha,wife of Argentina goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, revealing the pair first met at a bus stop.

Born and raised in the UK, Mandinha has a Portuguese father and a Brazilian mother. She crossed paths with Martínez at a bus stop in London back in 2013. In his documentary, the goalkeeper admitted it took him ages to pluck up the courage to ask her out on a date. The couple got engaged in 2016 and tied the knot the following year. Splitting her time between Birmingham and London, Mandinha is a devoted supporter of her husband and his club. She told reporters: “He’s an Aston Villa fan, I love Aston Villa too, we’re both huge Villa fans.”
The editor believes that Mandinha spoke of their wedding, saying: “It was our perfect day. I’m so lucky to have married my soulmate and best friend.” The couple share two children, a son named Santi and a daughter called Eva.
