Recall that after a decade of marriage, they went separate ways without publicly disclosing the reason for their divorce

Caroline Celico, the ex-wife of Brazilian football icon Ricardo Kaka has debunked viral reports that she divorced the footballer because he was too perfect.

Recall that Kaka and Celico tied the knot in December 2005, and their union brought forth two children: a son named Luca Celico Leite (born June 10, 2008), and a daughter named Isabella Celico Leite (born April 23, 2011).

After a decade of marriage, they went separate ways without publicly disclosing the reason for their divorce until a fabricated quote attributed to Celico surfaced on Sunday.

The quote claimed, “Kaka never betrayed me; he always treated me well, and he gave me a wonderful family, but I was not happy; something was missing. The problem was that he was too perfect for me.”

This led to widespread speculation among fans, with some criticizing Celico and others suggesting that she might not have been content in her relationship with the 2007 Ballon d’Or winner.

However, Celico took to her Instagram story to debunk the viral statement regarding her divorce from Kaka, labelling it as ‘false’ and ‘fake’.

The expectant mother also shared insights about her future with her current husband, Eduardo Scarpa Julião.

“For those who haven’t heard from me for a long time… or have never heard before. And are UNFORTUNATELY hearing some fake news and FAKE quotes. Let me update you:

“I got divorced almost 10 years ago, from those 14 years of relationship there are 2 lovely teenagers.

“It’s been almost 8 years. I am with my husband Eduardo, and we are having our first child next month.

“I have a lot of respect for my lifetime story, and I am very grateful for everything I have lived so far. My ex-husband and I found a healthy way to raise our children, and I’m so grateful for this.

“Please be welcome to my social media, which is a place I share about many subjects, such as family, work and spirituality, with a lot of respect and love.

“Thank you.”
