Argentine singer and actress Martina Stoessel, better known as Tini, announced on Tuesday her engagement to World Cup-winning football star Rodrigo De Paul. The Argentine singer uploaded a video to her Instagram account documenting her trip to Paris, where she had her first dress trials and other preparations. “And one day, that dream I’d had so many times began to come true with the love of my life,” she wrote in the publication, also tagging De Paul. Tini is one of Argentina’s biggest pop stars, with over 21 million followers on Instagram and over 15 million daily listeners on Spotify. She rose to international stardom as the lead character in Disney Channel Latin America’s Violetta before transitioning into a solo music career. Her romance with Argentine footballer Rodrigo De Paul began in late 2021, with the two publicly confirming their relationship in April 2022. The news triggered tabloid scrutiny due to its timing, coming just after De Paul’s split from his partner of 11 years, model Camila Homs, with whom he shares two children. Accusations of cheating and public legal disputes over child support put the couple under a spotlight, though Tini consistently denied breaking up the marriage. The relationship became deeply intertwined with Argentina’s pop culture during the 2022 World Cup, when De Paul played wearing “TTT” — a nod to Tini’s signature slogan, La Triple T — embroidered on his boots. After a brief separation in 2023, the pair restarted their romance in 2025. Since first breaking into the Argentine men’s national football team, De Paul has shined as a dynamic, two-way midfielder and a close friend of captain Lionel Messi. After a long career in European football, he currently plays for Inter Miami alongside Messi. De Paul was instrumental in ending Argentina’s 28-year trophy drought at the 2021 Copa América, going on to anchor the midfield in the 2022 FIFA World Cup victory and the 2024 Copa América.
