Virginia Fonseca attended Vini Jr.'s 26th birthday party on a boat in Sardinia. A photo of her sitting on the player's lap while he uses his phone circulated online and drew criticism.
The image, shared by the Daily do Garotinho profile and attributed to Virginia's WhatsApp status, shows the moment during the yacht celebration on July 12, 2026. Internet users criticized the athlete's posture, with comments such as “She on his lap and he on the phone looking for others”.
Virginia had shared a video on the boat singing “Não Vou Te Assumir”. Vini Jr. praised one of her photos with the comment “Perfeita”. Her presence renewed rumors of reconciliation after their May breakup.
Sources close to the pair indicated plans for a trip to Ibiza on July 23. Virginia's team did not confirm the photo's authenticity by the time of the reports.
