Maria Guardiola, the daughter of Pep Guardiola, recently caught the attention of social media users with her lip-licking reaction to Manchester City star Julian Alvarez getting a picture with her father during the title celebrations.

Alvarez, who has had a remarkable season on the field, posed for a photo with Pep, and Maria’s seemingly intrigued expression sparked conversations about his dating life off the field.

Maria, a 22-year-old model born in Barcelona, previously gained attention for dating former Tottenham player Dele Alli in 2021. However, Alli has since been romantically linked with model and influencer Cindy Kimberly.

Despite speculation among Argentine fans that Maria’s viral video might indicate a romantic connection between her and Alvarez, the forward attended City’s title celebrations with his family and his girlfriend.

Alvarez has been publicly dating his PE teacher girlfriend, Emilia Ferrero, since his move to City. It is believed that they first dated briefly five years ago and both originate from the same village of Calchin in Cordoba, Argentina.

Emilia has 497k followers on Instagram and frequently shares photos with Alvarez to celebrate his success. In one post, she expressed her commitment to him, stating that she will follow him wherever he asks and cheer for him for the rest of her life.

After Alvarez and Argentina won the World Cup, she proudly declared her love and support for him on social media. In a picture from City’s title celebrations, she reaffirmed her love for the footballer and congratulated him on his achievements.

Despite Maria’s noticeable reaction during the photo opportunity between Alvarez and her father, it is important to note that Alvarez is in a committed relationship with Emilia.

The viral video of Maria’s expression simply sparked playful speculation among fans, but there is no evidence to suggest any romantic involvement between her and the Manchester City star.

As the title celebrations continue and the football season comes to an end, the focus will shift back to the players’ performances on the field.

Alvarez’s exceptional season has already earned him recognition, and he has the opportunity to complete an unprecedented individual quadruple if City can triumph over Manchester United in the FA Cup final and Inter in the Champions League.
