He has had an up and down World Cup so far after scoring against England and then missing a hatful of chances against Costa Rica.
But Mario Balotelli’s personal life is only going in an upwards direction as is evident from new pictures of the footballer carrying his fiancée Fanny Neguesha along the beach just one day after she accepted his offer of marriage earlier in June.
The pair looked every inch the ideal couple as he strolled along the sand with the Belgian beauty in his arms.
The Italian star is seen wearing his national team’s tracksuit on the beach as he and Fanny spent some quality time together.
Fanny looks stunning in a tiny pair of white shorts teamed with a matching white top.
This comes after the striker paused his World Cup preparations to propose to girlfriend Fanny ahead of Italy’s clash with England in Manaus, Brazil, earlier this month.

The controversial player took to Instagram to confirm that his on/off partner had said yes, posting an image of his new fiancee’s hand adorned with a sparkling ring.
Balotelli accompanied the image with the message: ‘She said yes.. The most important yes in my life. That was the place of my question! I Love you and happy birthday too! Je t’aime my WIFE (sic)’
The former Manchester City man also included a photo of the setting for his proposal, which is believed to be near Mangaratiba, Italy’s base for the World Cup.

The news came just a few days ahead of Italy’s opening game of the World Cup against England, which the Italians they went on to win 2-1, with Balotelli netting the winner.
