Jorgelina Cardoso was born on July 11, 1982, in Rosario, Argentina, the same city where Angel Di Maria was born. Both are devoted fans of Rosario Central and the couple got married on July 30, 2011, in their hometown.
Jorgelina has been Di Maria’s main defender and supporter through the highs and lows of his career. She stood by him during the toughest moments, such as Argentina’s painful exit from the 2018 World Cup and his subsequent omission from the national team. She has also celebrated his triumphs, including his memorable performance in the World Cup final in Qatar.
Despite facing harsh criticism, Jorgelina always defended her husband, often taking to social media to support him. Her loyalty and steadfastness have been pivotal in helping Di Maria navigate the challenges of his professional life.
In an interview with “Ángel responde” from Argentina, Jorgelina shared why Angel Di Maria decided to step back from the national team: “At first I told him that he could not leave now that he is in his best moment and that people love him. But he answered me: ‘No, I want to leave like this, well’. He does not want to repeat the experience of the last time he was not called up. Besides, he knows that the young players are coming on strong and it’s the right time to step aside. It was an intelligent decision.”
