ENZO FERNANDEZ's ex-fiance has said she still loves him despite being separated for three months.
Chelsea star Fernandez split from Valentina Cervantes at the end of October after a six-year relationship in which they had two children together, Olivia and Benjamin.
Fernandez had told her he wanted to “live alone”, while a statement on Valentina's social media page at the time confirmed the split.
He has continued to see his children despite the split and was reunited with them and childhood sweetheart Valentina in London over the New Year.
The midfielder, who turns 24 on Friday, found himself in rich shape after the split and was romantically linked to Argentinian rapper Nicki Nicole.
However, Valentina revealed that she was assured those rumors were false, and in a new interview with La Nacion, she insisted that she still loves Fernandez.
She said: “I think the love is still there because it's hard to leave so quickly.”
The model and influencer, who met Fernandez as a 17-year-old when he was 16 at River Plate, also opened up about how she coped with their split, but admitted they were now on “different paths”.
Valentina added: “It literally took me five minutes. Today I don't cry anymore…
'I bet I'll fall in love again and start a new family. I'm young and I would have a million children.'
At the New Year's family reunion, Valentina said in December: “Enzo asked me to go to London for Christmas,
“But I told him I preferred to spend it here in Argentina because the kids have more cousins and it makes the moment of opening gifts and everything else more special.
'But for the 31st we will travel there and spend it together.
'I don't just go to Big Ben with a cider. We've talked about it, and he has no problem with it, and neither do I, because I know how to separate things.
“We are going to do everything we can to make the children happy.
“I'll stay for a few days because I have to finish some things I left behind there. Then I'll come back here and they'll stay with him a little longer.”
Speaking about the rumors surrounding his dating life, she continued: “I asked him. Obviously I don't get involved in those things and I would respect the woman he has from now on because it is his life.
“But I wanted to know because I think as the mother of the children I need to know and he told me they weren't together.
“Olivia is listening to Nicki Nicole's songs, I was excited… I think they met once. Not alone, in a group.
“We talked about the fact that if either of us starts a new relationship in the future, we will inform each other out of respect and because we share two children together.”
Fernandez has scored three goals and provided four assists in all competitions this season.
He has started every Premier League match for Enzo Maresca's side since the 1-1 draw against Arsenal in November and is expected to feature again tonight The Blues taking on Bournemouth.
