Who is Federico Valverde?
Federico Santiago Valverde Dipetta, born on July 22, 1998, is a professional football player from Uruguay who is currently playing as a central midfielder for Real Madrid in La Liga and representing his country in the national team. He is a highly regarded player due to his ability to play multiple positions and his impressive attributes such as speed, endurance, strong work ethic, and powerful shots.
Apart from his primary position as a central midfielder, Valverde can also play as a defensive midfielder, right winger, and occasionally as a right-back. Valverde's outstanding performance in the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup, where he helped Uruguay finish fourth in the tournament, earned him the Silver Ball award.
What happened to Fede Valverde's Son?
Fede Valverde's unborn son is doing fine. Valverde and his partner Mina Bonino experienced a miscarriage scare earlier this year, but in February they were said that their unborn child was actually alive and well. The day after receiving this news he scored a brace in the Club World Cup final. His partner said, “Recently, news came out that I had lost a pregnancy. I was not able to deny it, because it was what we believed would happen. It was incompatible with life. We prepare for a month for the worst. As the pregnancy was very advanced we had to confirm it with the test.
“And after having cried for a whole month, having mourned, while I had my second son in my belly, yesterday the unexpected news came to us: the baby is fine. Everything is normal. We haven’t processed it yet, it was a very difficult month and this is starting over. THANK YOU.” Following Real Madrid's 3-2 loss to Villarreal on April 8, Fede Valverde and Alex Baena got into an ugly altercation, which apparently started during the match and escalated after it ended.
Valverde allegedly punched Baena after waiting for him in the car park. The reason for Valverde's anger towards Baena was their past history. Baena reportedly made disrespectful remarks about Valverde's partner suffering a miscarriage and even used that as a tactic to provoke him in the past. Furthermore, during an earlier match of the season, Baena made crying gestures toward Valverde, which deeply upset him.
During the Villarreal game, Baena repeated his provocative actions and comments, which infuriated Valverde, leading him to confront Baena in the car park. Although the police obtained a video of the incident, Villarreal decided not to press charges against Valverde while the investigation is ongoing.
Has Valverde son passed away?
Valverde's son has not passed away. Valverde and his partner Mina Bonino had a miscarriage scare earlier this year, but in February, they received the good news that their unborn child was alive and well. It is alleged that following Real Madrid's 3-2 defeat to Villarreal, Fede Valverde punched Alex Baena in the bus parking area, after a heated exchange of words on the pitch.
During a Copa del Rey match in January, Baena is accused of insulting Valverde about his unborn child, and it is claimed that he repeated a similar insult during Saturday's game, which prompted Valverde to attack him in the bus parking area. Baena denies making any such comments and expressed sadness over the aggression he suffered. It is unlikely that Valverde will face punishment from the league as Villarreal and Baena are not expected to file a complaint.

Álex Baena Rodríguez, born on July 20, 2001, is a professional footballer from Spain who currently plays as a left winger for Villarreal in La Liga.

Valverde Partner
Mina Bonino, the partner of Federico Valverde, has released a statement following reports that her husband allegedly punched Alex Baena over comments about her pregnancy. Real Madrid played against Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday, and it was reported that Valverde confronted Baena in the car park after the game and punched him.
Earlier in the year, during a Copa del Rey match between the two sides, Baena was alleged to have made a comment about Mina's pregnancy scare. Baena had already denied the accusations made against him on social media. Mina has now addressed the alleged incident on Twitter, stating that they were silent for almost two months waiting for the result to know whether or not they could continue the pregnancy.
She expressed her frustration at having to defend her son's health and wished no one to go through a similar situation. Villarreal reportedly possess footage of the alleged altercation. However, Mina updated fans last month that she was "six months into it," indicating that the child is believed to be healthy.
