Early life and education
Sofia Balbi, now 35, was born on November 10, 1989 in Montevideo, Uruguay. She grew up in a middle-class family, with a father who worked in the banking industry and a mother who was a housewife.
She has three siblings: an older brother named Gonzalo, a professional soccer player, and two older sisters named Pao and Mariana. Sofia attended a local school in Montevideo, where she was a good student and enjoyed playing sports and music.
Sofia met Luis Suarez when she was 13 and he was 15. Luis was a street sweeper who played soccer for a local club, Nacional. He was immediately attracted to Sofia and pursued her with determination and charm.
Sofia’s life changed completely when she was 14 years old, when her father was transferred to Barcelona, Spain for work.
Sofia and her family had to leave Uruguay and move to a new country, leaving Luis and everything they knew behind. Sofia was heartbroken but kept in touch with Luis through phone calls and letters.
Luis, who was also heartbroken, decided to pursue his dream of becoming a professional footballer and moved to the Netherlands at the age of 19 after signing for FC Groningen.
