Vinícius Jr. Showed Off His Newly Defined Jawline At Reserva Beach Following The Fifa World Cup, Alongside His On-again, Off-again Girlfriend, Virginia Fonseca

Vinícius Jr reportedly had a chin harmonisation procedure after Brazil crashed out of the World Cup, and fans say the sharper jawline makes him almost unrecognisable. He debuted the new look at the opening of girlfriend Virginia Fonseca’s gym, where the two were photographed sharing a kiss.

Virginia Fonseca and Vinícius Jr. were spotted spending time together and relaxing at Reserva Beach in Rio de Janeiro following the FIFA World Cup, and the photos are the reason his new jawline is suddenly everyone’s business.

Brazilian media reports that soon after returning home, the 26-year-old Real Madrid winger visited dermatologist Dr Alessandro Alarcão in Goiânia for a chin harmonisation procedure, a non-invasive treatment that uses dermal fillers to sharpen the chin and jawline. He reportedly decided to address his profile after it became the subject of intense online discussion during the tournament.

Brazil’s campaign ended in a 2-1 loss to Norway in the Round of 16. Vinícius scored four goals at the World Cup but went quiet in the knockout rounds.

He debuted the new look days earlier at the launch of Fonseca’s new gym in Goiânia. “Another dream come true,” she wrote. “Thank you to everyone who came to support us on this special day, and I hope you all from Goiânia will train with us.”

Fonseca is a Brazilian influencer, entrepreneur and TV personality who was previously married to singer Ze Felipe, with whom she shares three children. She and Vinícius were first linked in 2025 before an on-and-off run that reportedly split just before the World Cup, and the Reserva Beach photos suggest the romance is back on.

One user on X wrote that “Vini Jr’s look has improved a lot, but there was no need at all coming from such a big influential baller. It makes people feel miserable with their natural look.”
