On January 6, Beijing time, former Barça star Baltra and his wife Melissa Jimenez announced that the two divorced, they had 3 children, the youngest was only 1 year old! The two were in a relationship in 2014 and married in 2017, and in just the past 5 years, the two have parted ways.
Baltra, 31, a defender who made his career in Barca's youth academy, moved from Barca to Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee of €8 million, and in January 2018 Baltra returned to La Liga to join Betis. Today, his contract with the team expires in 2023.
Melissa Jimenez is 34 years old, that is, Baltra is 3 years younger than his own wife. The two began dating in May 2014, when Baltra was still playing for Barca. A year later, the eldest daughter of the two was born. In 2016, Baltra went to play at Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga and the family moved to Germany. In 2017, the two married. In 2018, Melissa had another child. In October 2020, the couple's third child was born.
In other words, Baltra and Melissa's 3 children are only 6, 3 and 1 year old, respectively!
After the crisis in the marriage of the two people, they originally wanted to work together to solve it, but in the end they did not succeed. Last December, the two decided to part ways.
In the past, the scene of the two getting married is still vivid, at that time, Baltra's wedding scene was dressed up retro and romantic, although they had become parents, but the two were sweet, hot kiss sugar. Baltra wrote on social media at the time, "You are the perfect wife in my heart!" Apparently, Baltra had been punched in the face.
In addition, the Western media praised the two at that time - like the prince and princess in a fairy tale. Now it seems really embarrassing.
This season, Baltra has made 13 appearances for Betis, scoring 1 goal. In December last year, it was even rumored that Barca were interested in him and wanted to reintroduce him, and the two sides even had initial contacts. But now, the transfer is not moving. However, when Xavi became Barcelona manager, Baltra congratulated him!
