Brazilian Artist Erases Virginia Fonseca from Vinícius Jr World Cup Mural After Breakup
A giant football-themed mural in Pouso Alegre once featured Real Madrid star Vinícius Júnior alongside influencer Virginia Fonseca. Days after Virginia confirmed their split, the street artist repainted the piece to remove her image but left Vinícius at its centre. Reports say the artist gauged public opinion in an online poll before deciding to erase Virginia’s face. The mural had become a local landmark ahead of the 2026 World Cup, drawing visitors to the football-decorated neighbourhood. Virginia announced the end of her eight-month romance with Vinícius Júnior on social media. In her statement, she said she values honesty and growth, and chose to part ways with respect and affection.
