FC Barcelona President Joan Laporta is back in the spotlight, and this time it isn't just for the club's financial restructuring or Hansi Flick's tactical genius.
As of April 2026, 'Jan' Laporta has reportedly found love again. Rumours have been swirling across social media and Spanish tabloid circles about the 63-year-old president's new relationship with a woman of Latin American origin. While Laporta has always kept his personal life relatively private following his high-profile divorce from Constanza Echevarría, his recent public appearances with his new partner have sparked a frenzy among the 'Blaugrana' faithful and the international press alike.

The buzz reached a fever pitch following a series of sightings in Barcelona's most exclusive venues. However, what truly captured the public's imagination was a viral quote attributed to Laporta's new girlfriend. According to various reports in Spanish media, she was initially unaware of his powerful position in the football world.
'I fell in love with him because of his smile. I didn't even know he was Barça's president,' she reportedly told close associates, a statement that has since become a trending topic on X (formerly Twitter).
The couple has been described by witnesses as being 'completely smitten,' with the Latin American beauty frequently accompanying Laporta to private dinners and social events. Her presence is seen by many as a calming influence on the President during one of the most demanding periods of his third tenure at the club.

She is confirmed to be of Latin American descent, with media outlets specifically noting her striking presence and elegance at recent club-related social functions. The pair are reportedly living a 'steady and happy' romance, with Laporta introducing her to his inner circle of directors and advisors.
