Shark Attack: Pregnant Wife of NBA Star Danilo Gallinari Shares Her Trauma

You know those vacations that sound great on paper but turn into a real-life horror movie? That was the case for Eleonora Boi, the pregnant wife of former NBA star Danilo Gallinari, who got bitten by a shark while vacationing in Puerto Rico. Boi was enjoying a family swim when she felt a painful burning sensation that she first mistook for a jellyfish sting. Spoiler alert: it was not a jellyfish, but rather a shark looking for an afternoon snack!

Gallinari sprang into action, grabbing their two kids and getting Eleonora to safety, while a bystander rushed in to help. Talk about a rescue team! Once they reached the shore, Boi faced the trauma ahead: getting rushed to the hospital to ensure she and her unborn baby were okay. Fortunately, after some extensive tests and surgery to treat her wounds, both mom and baby were reported healthy.

However, Boi is still grappling with the emotional aftermath of the attack, openly admitting that it’s been tough to shake off the fear. What a nail-biting story—a family vacation should come with sunscreen, not shark encounters! Would you swim in the ocean again after a scare like that? Just imagine having a beach day without worrying about becoming a shark’s next meal!
