Story summary

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, a 25-year-old Georgian football player nominated for this year’s Ballon d’Or award, married Nitsa Tavadze in October 16, 2023, at the Samtavro monastery in Mtskheta, Georgia. Due to her university commitments, Tavadze initially stayed in Georgia while Kvaratskhelia played for Napoli in Italy, maintaining their relationship through phone calls and letters. They welcomed their first child together, named Damiane, a year after their marriage. Tavadze was studying medicine at the time they met, and she would visit Kvaratskhelia whenever her studies allowed. It is unclear if Tavadze will attend the Ballon d’Or ceremony in London with Kvaratskhelia due to his recent injury.
