Eleonora Boi, the pregnant wife of former NBA<\/a> player Danilo Gallinari, has announced that she was attacked by a shark during ‘the worst day of her life’ while swimming at a beach in Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

Boi, 39, reportedly sustained an open wound to her thigh and was treated at a nearby hospital, according to local media. Boi relocated to Puerto Rico with Gallinari after he signed for the Vaqueros de Bayamon earlier this year, after a 14-year stint in the NBA.<\/p>\n

Gallinari was drafted by the New York Knicks<\/a>, but enjoyed one of his best seasons while a member of the Oklahoma City Thunder, who won the NBA Championship this year.<\/a> The NBA Finals were also memorable due to Tyrese Haliburton’s devastating injury<\/a>, but Gallinari has since started a new chapter in Puerto Rico.<\/p>\n

Boi is expecting her third child with Gallinari, whom she married in July 2022. While swimming at the Carolina Resort in Puerto Rico, Boi was attacked by a shark, but has confirmed via social media that she and her unborn baby are safe.<\/p>\n

“It was the worst day of my life, maybe my grandmother Nella was right when she said ‘on the seas you traitors’,” Boi wrote on Instagram, along with a photo posted from her hospital bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eleonora Boi, the pregnant wife of former NBA player Danilo Gallinari, has announced that she was attacked by…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39120,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[557],"tags":[7218,25653,64,63,34922,34920,1662,7214,34921,17932,4620,590,1666,5548,2269,85,34923,7211],"class_list":["post-39119","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nba","tag-atlanta-hawks","tag-attack","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball-section","tag-danilo-gallinari","tag-denver-nuggets","tag-detroit-pistons","tag-eleonora-boi","tag-la-clippers","tag-milwaukee-bucks","tag-nba","tag-new-york-knicks","tag-oklahoma-city-thunder","tag-shark","tag-sports","tag-sports-section","tag-washington-wizards"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39119","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39119"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39119\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39120"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39119"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39119"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39119"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
