From the Argentine Primera Division to the English Premier League, Marcos Rojo’s football career has seen steady progress. The Argentine, like most professional footballers, started playing football at an early age. He started playing for his local team Estudiantes de La Plata as a youth before joining the club’s senior team in 2008.
He joined the Red Devils in 2014 on a deal worth £16million. Rojo’s football trophies now include an FA Cup title, an EFL cup, 1 FA Community Shield as well as a UEFA Europa League trophy in 2017. Rojo was named in the squad to represent Argentina in the of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia. Follow us as we explore the details of Marcos Rojo’s personal life.
Marcos Rojo wife and girlfriend
Many professional athletes in the world are known for their escapades and the genetically blessed Marcos Rojo is one of them. Despite being married and often bragging about being a family man on social media, Rojo has been embroiled in two filthy scandals. His wife is called Eugenia Lusardo. Born in 1991, she is a lingerie model. The couple have been married for some time and share two children together, both daughters. The youngest was born in November 2016
From her modeling photos found online, it’s clear that Eugenia has quite an attractive body, however, it seems that Rojo was attracted to her for reasons other than her physical features. On the one hand, Eugenia likes to watch football. We went to his Twitter page where we discovered many of his football-related posts. A few times, when Rojo was entangled in a controversial situation, Eugenia supported him.
For example, in the Premier League match in December 2014, Rojo’s team played against Stoke City. Although United won that game, there was controversy over who scored the winning goal.
The goal was scored on behalf of Juan Mata, however, it was a controversial decision as many others believed Rojo’s slight contact with his head was what produced the goal. In a bid to prove her man was the hero, Eugenia took to her Instagram page to post a photo that clearly showed Rojo’s head going for the ball just before the goal. She captioned the photo “Nothing more to say! Haha, I love you. “
Since 2016, Rojo’s wife has been silent on social media, especially on Twitter. However, she runs a private Instagram account where she has around 50K followers and counts
Despite some infidelity scandals that rocked their union, Eugenia seems to remain faithful to her man. The first news of Rojo’s cheating came to light with instructor Sarah Watson. Reportedly, Rojo had met Watson at a united Christmas party, after which he had sex with her in her hotel room later that same night. The reports also contain details that their antics that night were interrupted by four of Rojo’s teammates.
Watson would later reveal that after their one night stand, Rojo continued to contact him for a month, desperately asking for another affair. During his plea, Rojo allegedly sent nude photos of himself to Watson, including one of his clean-shaven manhood. Watson said she refused to get involved with him after noticing he had a family.
Unfortunately, the x-rated photos would be made public on a well-known Argentinian Twitter page with 150K followers. The page is devoted to posting information about footballers and their dirty escapades. Clear proof that the nude photos were Rojo’s was his tattoo.
Rojo’s encounter with Watson culminated in a court battle which came after Watson said she had refused the £100,000 the star offered her in exchange for her not having met. Rojo would later take an injunction to stop newspapers from linking his name to the story and accused Watson of blackmail. The injunction was later lifted in May 2015, but the media were not allowed to publish photos of Rojo. Rojo was also ordered by a court to pay Watson’s legal bill which reached £50,000.
In another infidelity scandal, photos of Rojo kissing a certain 19-year-old PR named Chabeli Trinidad Banchero surfaced in March 2016. However, his wife Eugenia seemed unimpressed with the news as she took to Instagram about 2 months later to post a baby scan photo announcing that she was ready to welcome another baby with hubby Rojo.
