Who is Dani Carvajal’s wife Daphne Canizares?
Dani Carvajal is married to Daphne Canizares, the twin sister of Melanie Canizares.
Melanie is a flight attendant and model who is married to Dani’s former Real Madrid and current Spain teammate Joselu.
This means the Spanish internationals are brother-in-laws.

She dreamt of becoming a model, and went on to work with major clothing and jewellery brands, star in TV ads and take part in fashion shows.
Daphne owns a company called Blue Weddings, which specialises in organising social events.
