They got married for the first time in 2009.
And on Thursday, December 25, Luis Suárez and his wife Sofia Balbi renewed their wedding vows at a five-star hotel in Uruguay to mark ten years of marriage.
The Barcelona striker, 32, and his childhood friend, 30, made sure they rang in the new decade in style by seeing Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba.
Luis wore a sparkling “SB” band, and Sofia wore a “LS” band that matched. They said “I do” with diamond initial rings that were made just for them.
A black wall behind Luis and Sofia had their names and hearts written in silver on it. They posed on a red carpet. It wasn’t just that one personalised touch.
Sofia was beautiful at her wedding in a white dress that hugged her body and was adorned with jewels. The train was long, straight, and had a drawing on it.
Her blonde hair was blow-dried into a stylish style. She put on makeup to show off her good looks, and she wore a lot of diamond jewellery, including her wedding rings.
While Luis wore a blue Dolce & Gabbana suit pant with a matching jacket, a white shirt, and a dark tie, he looked very classy.
He went to the event with his wife Antonella Roccuzzo and their son Thiago, who is seven years old.
Sergio Busquets brought his partner Elena Galera, and Jordi Alba brought his partner Romarey Ventura.
A priest named Juan Andres Verde led the religious service on the hotel deck. People in the area say that he is friends with Suarez and his wife.
“It’s a very important day for us,” the football player told the reporters who were waiting. He then made a joke, “My wife is the best defender; I can’t get away from her.”
They have three kids together: Sarah, 14, months, Delfina, 9, and Benjamin, 6. “Counting the day to say YES again!” Ten years ago, Sofia wrote on Instagram, giving a hint that something was about to happen.
Their close friend Antonella Messi, who is married to Messi, said, “Lovely.” We hope the best for them!
Luis was kind enough to say that his wife Sofia helped him get to where he is now in NFL football. He told the Liverpool Echo, “When I was 15, I got a girlfriend who made me feel better.” It helped me understand how important football was to me.
“I wasn’t giving football my full attention because I was going out at night… it was hard for me to study.”
“There were some bad people in my life.” She helped me believe in myself and felt good about myself.
Luis got a long ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic while he was at Liverpool and biting Italy’s Giorgio Chiellini at the 2014 World Cup. Sofia stood by Luis during that time.
Luis, 32, and Sofia, 30, got married in Amsterdam in March 2009 according to Dutch law. Their church wedding took place in Montevideo, Uruguay, on December 26, 2009.
