Vinícius’ mother: Who are Fernanda Oliveira and José Paixão, the footballer’s parents?

In 2018, Vinícius Jr. joined Real Madrid from Flamengo in Brazil and although his first few seasons were not the best with the team from the Spanish capital, he became a starter and later the figure of the team that won the most Champions Leagues.

However, his life was never easy. The Brazilian was born in São Gonçalo, a municipality in Rio de Janeiro, on July 12, 2000. From an early age he showed talent and had the help of his parents, who helped him achieve his dream.

The Real Madrid star has always been by his parents’ side. In the past, he was seen celebrating his mother Fernanda Oliveira ‘s (Tatiana) birthday and he didn’t waste the opportunity to thank her.

Who is Vinícius Jr.’s mother, Fernanda Oliveira?

This photo was uploaded on October 25, 2018, months after joining the Merengue team, and Viní missed the Spanish classic, but took the opportunity to be with his mother and send her a heartfelt message.

The current ‘7’ of Real Madrid mentioned on his Instagram account, in a photo together with Fernanda: ” Happy birthday, mom! All the best always. May God bless you abundantly! I love you! Everything I am, or pretend to be, I owe to you! Enjoy your day .”

This has been one of the few moments in which the Brazilian winger has referred to his mother, but as far as we know, Mrs. Tatiana is currently 43 years old and has been the pillar of the Paixão family, as she has tried to educate Vinícius and his brothers in the best way.

The footballer’s father is Vinícius José Paixão de Oliveira , who previously worked as a cable technician and worked hard to support his family, until Vini turned five and began playing in a football school, which Flamengo has spread across Brazil.

When the current Real Madrid player was seven years old, his father, seeing his talent, enrolled him in the Flamengo school and on May 13, 2017, at just 16 years old, he made his debut in the Brazilian club’s first team.

Since then, Vinícius Sr. and his son have been together and one of the moments he remembers is when he was 10 years old, as his house was 73 kilometers from the place where he had to go to train.

At that time, a cousin of his father offered him to go live with him and his wife in a neighborhood in the north of Rio de Janeiro, closer to the training center; this helped Vinícius, since he could move there more quickly, according to Planeta Real Madrid.
