Valentine's Story: Chelsea Star's Romantic Love Story
Chelsea star Willian is known to be an emotional person, and his romantic marriage is admired by many.
Willianand 19 years old know love
It was 2007, when Willian was in his dreamy youth. Having just made his debut for Corinthians, after 8 years playing for the youth team, the 19-year-old boy dreamed of happiness and a glorious career in Europe.
That day, Willian boldly confessed his love to Vanessa Martins, an amateur model with many suitors. Vanessa was 6 years older than him.

Willian's confession was accepted by Vanessa. They began a romantic love story, and Willian promised to give the beauty the most special gift when the two celebrated their first Valentine's Day.
Without any special gift, Willian's career turned a new page. He received an invitation from Europe. The destination was Ukraine, with Shakhtar Donetsk Club - the destination of many Brazilian players who wanted to change their lives.
Willian's 20th birthday is the life that many Brazilians dream of: playing football in Europe - a paradise, with a beautiful, talented lover and extremely humble in front of the media.
Willian still says he is a lucky person, his success in life is thanks to his parents.
His father, Severino da Silva, and his mother, Maria, worked hard to support their son's dream. Severino sold car parts to earn money for the family. Maria did everything she could to give her son time to play football.
Due to working too much, often beyond her capacity, Maria suffered many illnesses in her life. She passed away in 2016 from cancer.
She is the fulcrum of success
Life in Europe in the early years was not easy. Many players buried their careers early when they arrived in the promised land because they could not overcome the pressure.
Willian has been a success. He built a stellar career at Shakhtar Donetsk, had a brief spell with Russian side Anzhi, before moving to Chelsea.

"I never thought I would go to a big club like Chelsea," Willian confided in late August 2013, when he arrived at Stamford Bridge for 30 million pounds.
Parents are the foundation of Willian's career, while Vanessa is a support for this 1988-born player to take big steps towards success.
Since officially starting their relationship in 2007, Vanessa has always been by Willian's side to support him. She doesn't like noise and spends most of her time with her lover.
They got married in 2011. Willian has a passion for music, and he thought, if his career didn't reach world-class level, he would switch to being a dancer, and playing drums at festivals. Because, his wife is also involved in the entertainment arts.
But it was Vanessa who encouraged Willian to strive harder. He constantly strived to improve, from the support of his wife's love, especially when he had two little princesses Valentina and Manuella.
Vanessa is a role model for many young girls in Brazil and England. She is considered the standard of beauty, a modern woman with her own career, but devotes all her time to her husband and children.
Willian calls Vanessa his angel. They are preparing for special times in February: Valentine's Day and the birthdays of their two princesses.
