Alexis Mac Allister and Ailén Cova face social media backlash

Influencer Ailén Cova has sparked controversy on social media after posting vacation photos featuring her partner, footballer Alexis Mac Allister, and their daughter, Alaia.

While the posts were intended to showcase family harmony and the growth of their family since 2024, many users criticized the timing of the publication. The backlash stems from the coincidence of the posts with the death of Jorge Messi, a teammate's father. Some followers expressed that the content showed a lack of emotional connection to the mourning process occurring within the football community.

The photo album included various scenes from their tropical getaway, featuring family portraits and individual shots of Cova in beachwear. One notable image recreated a past moment by drawing letters in the sand to symbolize the family's evolution.
