“Today is the birthday of the love of my life. ❤️ Keep shining as you do every day, with that light so pure and so real that lights up everything around you,” he began.

El defensor aprovechó el cumpleaños de su esposa, Muri López Benítez, para dedicarle una profunda declaración de amor que conmovió a sus seguidores.

Then he listed the qualities he admires most in his partner. “I fell in love with your smile, your energy, your simplicity, your kindness, the peace you give me, your joy, your love, your charisma, your humility, your kisses, your hugs and, above all, that immense heart you have,” he expressed.

To close, he summarized his feelings with a line charged with emotion. “Thank you for choosing me, for standing by me, and for being my family. I love you with all my being ♥️.”

“Hoy cumple años el amor de mi vida. ❤️ Seguí brillando como lo hacés cada día, con esa luz tan pura y tan real que ilumina todo a tu alrededor”, comenzó escribiendo.

The message was accompanied by an emotional carousel of images that trace various moments of the couple: celebrations after Argentina matches, strolls along the beach, trips, and everyday scenes with Aurora, their daughter, born in March 2025.

El mensaje estuvo acompañado por un emotivo carrusel de imágenes que recorren distintos momentos de la pareja: celebraciones tras partidos de la Selección Argentina, paseos por la playa, viajes y escenas cotidianas junto a Aurora, la hija de ambos, nacida en marzo de 2025.

Between hugs, kisses, and smiles, the photographs reflect the closeness they have built since adolescence when their relationship began, and the present family life they share.
