Argentina legend Diego Maradona has been
reunited with his estranged son for the first
time in 13 years.
The 55-year-old kissed Diego Junior, 29, on the
cheek after enjoying a meal together in
Buenos Aires.
Maradona had a brief relationship with Jr's
mother, Cristina Sinagra, in late 1985 while he
played in Italy for Napoli.
The emotional reunion of Maradona and his
son was organised by his girlfriend, Rocio
Oliva, who got the pair to meet for dinner.
It is thought to be the first time the pair have
met each other since 2003 when they met at a
golf tournament.
Maradona was officially named as Jr's father
by an Italian court after the former footballer
refused to take a DNA court.
Also attending the dinner was Maradona's
daughter Jana, 20, who was also left
estranged by her father for years despite the
court fight from her mum Valeri Sabalain to
force him to recognise her as his.
Jana, who uses Maradona's surname, only
met with her father in a secret meeting two
years ago in Buenos Aires.
“I’m very happy because I’ve been reunited
with my son," said Maradona on the meeting.
“I’ve been reunited with him as I was reunited
with Jana.
“I love him a lot and he’s very like me.”
Maradona gave his son a kiss on the cheek as
journalists waited outside of the venue.
