PAULO DYBALA'S stunning wife revealed she worked in a funeral home - after studying EMBALMING.
Argentina World Cup winner Dybala, 30, married singer and model Oriana Sabatini earlier this year.
Buenos Aires-born Oriana, 28, is the niece of unrecognisable tennis star Gabriela Sabatini.
She and former Manchester United target Dybala, now with Roma, have been together since 2018.
The ex-Juventus ace helped his country beat France in the 2022 World Cup final, scoring a penalty in their 4-2 shootout win in Qatar to bury Kylian Mbappe's dreams of back-to-back titles.
However, it is Dybala's glamorous Wag who helped an undertaker prepare a body for a funeral.

Brunette Oriana told a podcast: "I have been fascinated by death since I was a little girl. I was always very curious about it.
"When I left home and wondered what to do with my life, the chance came up for me to study embalming.
"I saw a stream on Instagram, and couldn't believe that you could have a career as an embalmer.
"Then I thought about what I could do to fulfil my interests. I discovered this career, which I was able to learn in a quick time.

"It is a beautiful career, and it is something very anonymous - it is a service.
"Sometimes you don't see the family, and the person you're doing it for doesn't thank you!
"One time I got a phone call from Daniel, the owner of a funeral home who I knew.
"He said, 'Ori, we've got a body coming in half an hour - can you come over to help?' I said yes.
"It was 10pm, I'd had dinner and I had nothing else to do. There was a Brazil game on TV.
"I told Paulo, 'Let's do something useful and go to the undertaker's.' Everyone was interested, as it's something we all gossip about out of curiosity.
"Paulo ended up accompanying me there. He told me not to worry, and stayed with me the whole time."
Dybala and Oriana met in 2017, when she was supporting act on tour with American superstar Ariana Grande.
They were among the first high-profile couples forced into quarantine in 2020 when they contracted coronavirus.
They gave fans an insight into their life in lockdown together - including video games, TikTok dances, musical duets and birthday celebrations.
Oriana previously shocked fans when she announced she was bisexual - and may even prefer women.

She told an Argentine TV show: "There is nothing better in life than to feel free.
"I don't know if I am a lesbian and I like women, or if I am bisexual. But I won't hold any prejudices about it."
