Mario Balotelli, the soccer star, has been romantically linked to a stunning French model.
The attractive Vanessa Lawrens has been enjoying the sun alongside the Manchester City player during his getaway on the party island of Ibiza, where he is with friends.
The 22-year-old was seen emerging from the striker’s car, accompanied by a lovely blonde friend, and leaning in for a kiss with Mario.
In the previous week, model, singer, and presenter Vanessa cozied up to 21-year-old Mario on the back of a jet ski while sporting a skimpy bikini.
The footballer is making the most of his summer break ahead of the new football season starting.
Recently, he was seen partying with American socialite Paris Hilton.
Off the field, the passionate athlete has been embroiled in a paternity dispute with his former girlfriend, Raffaella Fico.
The couple’s relationship, which was tumultuous over the course of a year, came to an end in April after a dramatic breakup at the doorstep.
However, just three weeks ago, model Raffaella announced that she is four months pregnant and asserted that the child is his.
Initially, Mario was reported to be “delighted” by the revelation but later requested a DNA test, to which she has consented.
