The report says the couple have run the Byker restaurant for around 12 years, building its identity around authentic Mexican food. Now, the football loyalties inside the family are impossible to separate from the match.
“Nós somos muito fãs de futebol, especialmente meu marido. Ele é completamente obcecado por futebol,” Wass said, describing her husband’s passion for the game.
Jesus has reportedly travelled to Mexico to watch the tournament with close friends, making the occasion even more meaningful. He is expected to return home as his country faces England at the iconic Estadio Azteca - a dramatic route back into the family business.
“Então vai ser uma casa muito dividida,” Wass added.
Caught between the two sides is the couple’s five-year-old son, Santiago. The report says he has not been able to watch many matches because of the late kick-off times, although he has followed parts of Mexico’s campaign and recently watched England.
For now, he may be too young to understand the full weight of a knockout tie. But the tournament is already giving him a football story rooted in both sides of his family.
His father reportedly hopes to take him to the Azteca when he is older, ensuring that Mexico’s football heritage remains part of his childhood.
When England and Mexico meet, Chucho’s will have no neutral corner. The result will settle the football argument for one night, but the family rivalry - and Santiago’s place in it - is only beginning.
