Who is Ángel Di María's wife?

Jorgelina Cardoso is the wife of Rosario Central footballer Ángel Di María. Born in 1982, she is from Rosario, Argentina, and is a Rosario Central supporter.

She studied at the Instituto Justo José de Urquiza in Rosario and trained as a surgical instrument technician, the job she was doing when she met Di María. She also modelled briefly in her home city.

The pair first made contact online in 2009, over Messenger. Accounts differ: one has her writing to him as a fan, another credits his cousin, a school friend of hers. Her first message asked him to return to Rosario Central. For around two years they had a long-distance relationship, with him at Benfica in Lisbon and her in Rosario, before she travelled to meet him.

They married on 30 July 2011 at Rosario Cathedral. They have two daughters. In July 2024 they marked their 13th wedding anniversary in Ibiza.

Cardoso has said decisions about his career are his alone. She is known for defending him on social media: in May 2026 she used an Instagram story to hit back at River Plate fans who had whistled him. The couple returned to Rosario when he rejoined the club in 2025, and for her 44th birthday in July 2026 he called her the "amor de mi vida".
