Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi admitted to blocking his sister Chiara on all social media for four days after she celebrated Juventus’ Coppa Italia victory on the pitch with her then-boyfriend, Juventus and USMNT star Weston McKennie. The lighthearted family feud, rooted in fierce Inter-Juventus rivalry, resurfaced in viral posts amid the 2025 holiday season, delighting fans with its relatable football passion.

Frattesi shared the anecdote in a June 2024 interview with La Repubblica, responding to photos of Chiara joining McKennie in jubilant scenes after Juventus’ 1-0 win over Atalanta in the final. “When I saw my sister celebrating Juventus’ Coppa Italia win on the pitch, I BLOCKED her on all social media for four days,” he revealed, laughing it off as sibling banter. “We make fun of ourselves. The fact that she is so open doesn’t bother me. Everyone has their own life.”

Chiara Frattesi, a 22-year-old model and influencer with over 200,000 Instagram followers (@chiarafrattesiii), was spotted on the Stadio Olimpico pitch, embracing McKennie amid confetti and trophy lifts—his first major honor with the Bianconeri. The images ignited Inter fan backlash, amplifying the “Derby d’Italia” tension between the clubs.

The couple’s relationship, rumored since early 2024, faced scrutiny due to the rivalry. Chiara attended Juventus matches, including vs. Fiorentina and Salernitana, posting subtle hints like matching Lego Eiffel Tower stories with McKennie. Frattesi, a Nerazzurri stalwart since joining from Sassuolo in 2023, embraced the irony: Inter dominated Serie A that season, but Juventus snatched the Coppa—Inter’s trophy for the prior two years.

Frattesi clarified it was playful: “Ci prendiamo in giro”. He unblocked her soon after, maintaining family ties despite club loyalties. Chiara, aspiring sports journalist inspired by Diletta Leotta, balances modeling, fitness, and supporting brother Davide—attending Inter’s Scudetto celebrations too.

By late 2024, reports indicated Chiara and McKennie parted ways, with her linking to Neapolitan rapper Geolier. Yet the block story endures, reposted widely in December 2025 on X, amassing millions of views.

Frattesi, 25, thrived at Inter under Simone Inzaghi: key in their title win, Euro 2024 call-up, and Italy duties. His box-to-box energy (7 goals, 5 assists in 2023-24) drew Milan links last summer, but he chose Inter exclusively.

McKennie, 26, pivotal for Juventus (13 goals/assists in 134 games), eyed swaps like Aston Villa’s Douglas Luiz before Thiago Motta’s arrival.

The saga exemplifies football’s family divides: Chiara navigated loyalties, once blocking Inter posts herself. Fans adore the authenticity—rivalries fueling fun over feuds.

Social clips trended: “Football hits different” (@FootyHumour), “Cuñados” (brothers-in-law) memes. Reddit’s r/Juve and r/ussoccer buzzed, with Interistas joking Frattesi’s loyalty.

Chiara’s profile soared: tattoos, French bulldog Pluto, travels. Net worth estimates: $78K-$123K from influencing.

Frattesi’s candor humanizes stars: post-interview, he prioritized Euro 2024, impressing Spalletti despite minor injuries.

In Serie A lore, this rivals historic bans: Inter-Juve enmity dates to 1900s, but family crossovers like this add charm.

As 2025 winds down, the story reminds: football passions run deep, even among kin. Frattesi unblocked, but the block lives on in memes.
