She Won the Heart of the Tough Coach. Diego Simeone Found Happiness Alongside a Model 17 Years His Junior

The Buenos Aires native was previously married for 20 years to model Carolina Baldini. Their marriage produced three sons, all of whom followed in their father's footsteps to become footballers. Thirty-year-old Giovanni is currently on loan at FC Torino from Napoli, 23-year-old Giuliano plays for Atlético Madrid, and twenty-seven-year-old Gianluca decided to end his active career in mid-2025 and now works as a football agent.

Several years ago, Carolina Baldini appeared on Argentine television, revealing that she was the one who initiated their separation. She also emphasized that their marriage ended amicably.

However, Diego Simeone was angered by her decision to speak publicly about their private life after so many years, as he himself had never commented on the matter. He stated that his ex-wife had "violated firm family rules" and that he "no longer had patience with her."

For over a decade, the Argentine coach has been in a relationship with model Carla Pereyra, who is 17 years his junior. While he will celebrate his fifty-sixth birthday at the end of April, she will turn 39 in September.

The couple met in 2014 after a chance encounter at a restaurant. Their daughter Francesca was born in September 2016, and in 2019, their family grew with the arrival of their second daughter, Valentina.

Months after the birth of their younger daughter, the long-serving Atlético Madrid coach and the model quietly tied the knot.

Carla Pereyra is also active on social media, boasting approximately 340,000 followers on Instagram. She regularly shares family moments and travel photos with her fans.

Beyond modeling, she serves as the CEO of a company specializing in long-term property rentals. She is also an ambassador for the Atlético Madrid Foundation and the founder of Casa de Calma, a non-profit organization that offers free activities for women.
