Rute Cardoso, the wife of late Portuguese football star Diogo Jota, has penned an emotional tribute on Instagram to mark what would have been their one-month wedding anniversary.
Sharing touching photos from their wedding day, including one of the couple holding hands, Cardoso wrote:
“1 month of our ‘until death do us part’. Forever, your white girl.”
The heartfelt post comes just weeks after a tragic car accident in Spain claimed the lives of Jota, 28, and his younger brother, André Silva, on July 3, barely 11 days after Jota tied the knot with Cardoso.
The two were reportedly travelling near Seville when their vehicle lost control and veered off the road. Emergency responders pronounced both men dead at the scene.
Jota, who played as a forward for Liverpool and the Portuguese national team, was beloved by fans for his versatility, relentless work ethic, and electric presence on the pitch.
The football world continues to mourn the shocking loss of a talented player whose career and life were cut tragically short, just as he was beginning a new chapter in both his personal and professional journey.
