Ailén Cova has shared some of Alexis Mac Allister’s biggest football milestones while building a public profile of her own in fashion, travel, and lifestyle. The longtime couple became parents in September 2025, welcoming their daughter, Alaia, in England.
Mac Allister’s career has brought major honors with Argentina and Liverpool, while Cova has remained a familiar presence at club and international matches. Their relationship has also drawn attention because the pair knew each other as children in their native La Pampa, Argentina.
From Childhood Friends to a Growing Family
The couple’s relationship entered the spotlight in late 2022 and early 2023, after Mac Allister ended a five-year relationship with former girlfriend Camila Mayan. Cova and Mac Allister both come from La Pampa, the central Argentine province where the midfielder was born and raised.

| 2022 | Mac Allister won the World Cup with Argentina. |
| 2024 | He won the Copa América with Argentina. |
| 2025 | He won the Premier League with Liverpool, and the couple welcomed daughter Alaia in September. |
| 2026 | He scored in Argentina’s World Cup quarterfinal against Switzerland. |
Cova documented her pregnancy openly on Instagram, sharing images as it progressed and a reel tracing the journey from a positive pregnancy test to the first sonogram. She later posted a newborn photo of Alaia alongside an emotional caption about the birth.
“After 18 hours of suffering, the most beautiful and special moment of our lives arrived,” Cova wrote. “A special mention for you, my love, I’m so incredibly proud of your strength and love in overcoming this and giving us the greatest gift in the world. I LOVE YOU.”
A Fashion and Lifestyle Presence
Cova has more than 213,000 Instagram followers and shares fashion, lifestyle, and travel content with her audience. She is also reported to be a licensed fashion and textile designer in Argentina, according to www.townandcountrymag.com.
Her social media posts have documented trips to New York, Paris, London, Ibiza, Rome, and St. Moritz. She has also traveled between the United Kingdom for Liverpool matches and other countries for Argentina’s international fixtures.
Life at Home Includes Homerito
Mac Allister and Cova are also pet owners and appear to have adopted a small brown mixed-breed puppy in 2023. Cova introduced the dog on Instagram with a caption translated from Spanish as, “Actually, you adopted us, sleepyhead.”
The dog appears in a dedicated Instagram Stories section called “Homerito,” featuring photos and videos from over the past three years. Alongside her travel posts and appearances at matches, the updates offer a glimpse of the family life Cova has shared online.
