Rodrigo De Paul’s fiancée, Tini Stoessel, is one of Argentina’s biggest pop stars, with a career that spans music, television and sold-out world tours. The singer and actress has been dating the Argentine soccer star on and off since 2022, and the couple announced their engagement just ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Here’s what you need to know.
1. Tini Stoessel Became a Disney Star Before Launching a Music Career
Born Martina Stoessel, Tini first found fame as the star of the Disney Channel Latin America series “Violetta,” which aired from 2012 to 2015.
The show’s success launched her into music, and she released her debut album, “Tini,” in 2016. The record topped the charts in Argentina and reached the top 10 in several European countries.
She followed with “Quiero Volver” in 2018 before evolving her sound on “Tini Tini Tini” in 2020, which broke the record for the most albums sold by a female artist in Argentina.
Her 2023 album, “Cupido,” became the first Argentine album of the 2020s to crack the Billboard U.S. Top 10 while featuring hit songs including “Miénteme,” “Bar” and “La Triple T.”
She continues to tour internationally with her “Futtura World Tour.”

“I want to let you know that Rodrigo and I have decided to end our relationship,” she wrote. “We shared some wonderful moments, where I had the opportunity to get to know someone I love and respect very much.”
The couple reunited in 2025 after being spotted together in Madrid before Rodrigo confirmed their engagement in May 2026 by sharing a photo of Tini’s diamond engagement ring.
