Married life and kids
Virginia has been married to her husband Jose Fernandes for a long time. Together, they share three kids including Bruno.
When their children were very young, Jose decided to move to Switzerland in search of better opportunities but Bruno, their middle child refused to go.
He was unwilling to leave his local team Boavista and told his parents that people in Switzerland don't know how to play football.
In the end, Jose emigrated to Switzerland while Virginia stayed back in Gueifaes to look after their children.
Their other son Ricardo who is six years older than Bruno also played football in the lower-league but hung up his boots prematurely and left home to work as a hospital assistant.

The connection behind her son's no.8 United shirt
Bruno in an interview revealed the connection behind his no. 8 United shirt.
According to him, his father when he used to be a player used to wear number eight but quit football because of an offer he received from work.
At the time, they thought it was a better option than to keep playing football. His father wore the number eight shirt for two years.
Since his father also dreamt of becoming a footballer, it makes his dream a little bit of him, he said.
The B is the last name of his mother and the F is the last name of his father, Fernandes. Also, the eighth is the day of his birthday.
It says a lot about his family, a lot about his past so it's his preferred number.
Bruno has inked no. 8 in both of his arms as a tribute to his father and his birth date.
Bruno said his father's tough approach helped him prepare for the Premier League
It was Bruno's father Jose who instilled in him the love for football. His father, his friends, and some of his cousins used to play football.
They played football every Sunday close to their home. When Bruno was around 14 or 15, he started playing football with them.
Bruno said when he started playing with them, his father sometimes kicked him a little bit just to prepare him for the premier league.
Who is her son currently married to?
Her son has been happily married to his wife Ana Pinho since 2015.
Together, they share two kids, a daughter Matilde born in January 2017, and a son Goncalo Fernandes born in 2020.
Bruno penned an emotional letter for the Player's Tribune expressing his gratitude to his fans all over the world for their immense support and what his club Manchester United and wearing a captain armband means to him.
He also shared how he and his wife cried joys of tears when he got the offer from his dream club Manchester United.
He wrote in the letter that Ana had been with him on the ride since they were teens.
They met as teenagers and he was making enough money as a footballer while she was making good money working as a futsal referee.
She used to do three or four matches in a row. She used to pay for the cinemas and the dinners.
When she was 18 and at the same time finished high school, she moved in with him. Since that day, they have pursued the dream together.
