Who is Theo Hernandez dating? Get to know his long-time girlfriend model and influencer Zoe Cristofoli
The France defender’s longtime partner has built a successful career of her own and will be by his side at the 2026 World Cup.
Theo Hernandez will be keeping it in the family at the 2026 World Cup, with older brother Lucas also part of the France squad for the tournament in the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Additionally, the younger Hernandez will no doubt be joined stateside by longtime partner Zoe Cristofoli, an influencer who has been making waves in her native Italy.
Who is Zoe Cristofoli?
Born in Verona in 1996, Cristofoli, who is a year older than Hernandez, has built a large social media following through modeling, as well as her entrepreneurial ventures. The Italian has more than 1.1 million followers on Instagram and over 215,000 on TikTok.
Known for her distinctive, heavily tattooed look, Cristofoli, nicknamed the Tigress of Verona, is the co-owner of Ink Studio Lagrange, a tattoo and piercing shop in Turin, as well as the founder of cosmetics brand OZ Extrait.
How long have Theo Hernandez and Zoe Cristofoli been together?
Hernandez and Cristofoli reportedly began dating in June 2020, almost a year after the defender signed for Italian giants AC Milan. The couple has never married, but they have two children together, a son born in 2022 and a daughter born in 2025.
In July 2025, Hernandez left Milan to join Saudi Pro League club Al Hilal, although he has been heavily linked with a move back to Serie A, particularly Juventus, this summer.
In an Instagram exchange with an AC Milan fan, Cristofoli revealed the couple “miss so many things” about Italy, which she said “will always remain our home.”
