Personal life

He is married and has one child. He has no family relationship with Manchester United winger Antonio Valencia and the fact that they played in the same team as kids and bear the same last name is merely a coincidence, in fact Antonio and Enner did not even get a chance to play together in Caribe Junior, Antonio was already gone when Enner was signed by the Sucumbios team.
