LFC's Luis Diaz and Gera Ponce unwind as winger leads celebrations at family wedding


Luis Diaz and Gera Ponce were in a celebratory mood over the weekend as they unwound at a family wedding.

The winger has been a revelation for Liverpool FC since he joined from Porto in January. The number 23 established himself as a key member of the starting XI as Jurgen Klopp's side won the Carabao Cup and FA Cup trophies.

It has been a gruelling 12 months for Diaz as he also helped the Colombia national team progress to the Copa America semi finals last summer and shared the Golden Boot with Lionel Messi. The £37.5m signing is now enjoying a well deserved break following the demanding season as he travelled back to his hometown of Barrancas.

Diaz has received a hero's welcome on his return to the north Colombian town, which has a population of just under 40,000 people. Away from the pitch, the 25-year-old has been in a relationship with Gera Ponce since 2016.

Gera regularly shares updates from her happy family life on Instagram and the two welcomed a daughter named Roma into the world last year. Gera took to the social media platform to share a snap of the two together as they attended a wedding.

Gera's relative, Tatiana, also took to the social media platform to share hilarious clips of the LFC star leading the celebrations as he entertained guests by dancing on stage.
