The father and son met for the first time in 2003 during a golf tournament in Fiuggi, Italy. In 2007, Maradona reportedly accepted that Diego Sinagra was his son, but his lawyers denied it. In 2016, Maradona accepted Sinagra (Diego) as his son.
- Although it is believed that Maradona first walked out of their relationships, in an interview, Christiana said that it was she who broke up with him. Giving her reasons, she said,
It was I who walked away when I realized that there were too many people around us who were hindering us. I sensed that the world around him was too big not to overwhelm him, and not to leave room for our love. He left for the World Cup, afterwards we also spoke a few times. He knew I was pregnant, Diego had wanted us to be together.”
