Danilo Gallinari’s pregnant wife, Eleonora Boi has opened up about a terrifying shark attack she survived while swimming at a beach in Puerto Rico’s Carolina Resort—and thankfully, both she and the baby are okay. Gallinari, a former NBA star and longtime teammate of Nikola Jokic on the Denver Nuggets, has been by her side throughout the ordeal.
In a deeply emotional Instagram post, she shared a photo from her hospital bed and wrote, “It was the worst day of my life, maybe my grandmother Nella was right when she said ‘on the seas you traitors.’” She revealed the attack happened “near the shore and on a super crowded beach,” and admitted she “never thought I could get attacked by a shark.” Thankfully, she said, “me and my baby are fine, I was rushed to the rescue and the surgery to fix my poor bruised leg went well.”
Still processing the trauma, she added a touch of humor to her message: “Now I just have to recover from the great scare and try to forgive the great friend who betrayed me. Shark will hear from my legals soon as possible.” She also took a moment to thank everyone who reached out during her recovery: “Thank you all for the great love and thank you for worrying about us with a message or a prayer .” And to Gallinari, she wrote with love, “I thank my husband who despite being married to Fantozzi-Boi he gave me all his love and courage.”
