Carolina Calvagni opened up about her plans to start a family with Argentine footballer Nicolás Tagliafico and criticized the social pressure surrounding parenthood during an interview on the streaming show Sería Increíble on OLGA, as reported by Clarin.com.
Addressing Societal Expectations on Motherhood
During her appearance on the program hosted by Nati Jota, the 31-year-old entrepreneur and influencer addressed personal projects alongside her husband, who plays as a defender for French club Olympique de Lyon. Calvagni acknowledged her desire to have children while pushing back against relentless public scrutiny. “We want to be parents, obviously, but I feel like there is a lot of social pressure with children; they are constantly poking at us all the time,” she stated, according to Clarin.com.
Calvagni reflected on preconceived notions surrounding the private lives of athletes’ families. She noted that people often assume that a lack of children stems from infertility rather than deliberate choice, overlooking her structured approach to different life stages. Between the ages of 20 and 30, building her brand, traveling, and enjoying time with her partner took precedence over starting a family. Entering her thirties marked a shift toward readiness, though she emphasized that the timing remains entirely up to the couple.
Reflections on Partnership and Public Life
Nicolás Tagliafico also spoke about their relationship and personal future in a separate interview highlighted by Infobae. The 34-year-old defender, whose contract with Lyon runs until June 2027, addressed the possibility of returning to Argentine football to be closer to family if they decide to have children.
The defender candidly discussed the psychological toll of public visibility, noting that being the partner of a professional athlete presents significant mental challenges.
Origins of a Longstanding Romance
The couple’s relationship dates back to 2014, when Tagliafico played for Banfield. According to details shared by Calvagni and reported by Crónica, the romance began through a casual connection when a friend of Calvagni’s mother showed her photographs of the defender and suggested adding him on Facebook. After noticing him interacting with older photos, Calvagni initiated contact by sending a simple greeting.
That initial message led to phone numbers being exchanged and a first date following a training session. The relationship weathered multiple club transfers across Europe, including moves to Ajax in Amsterdam in late 2017 and later to Lyon. The couple formally married in a civil ceremony in December 2021, followed by a large celebration in Exaltación de la Cruz in December 2022 following Argentina’s World Cup victory in Qatar.
