Renowned Brazilian football icon, Kaka, has recently shed light on his tumultuous 2015 divorce in a candid podcast interview, as reported by Spanish outlet Sport.
Having tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart, Caroline Celico, in 2005, and building a family together, their union eventually dissolved after a decade.
Contrary to initial reports attributing the split to Celico’s assertion that Kaka was ‘too perfect,’ both parties clarified that the decision stemmed from mutual agreement.
Kaka, now 41, emphasized his unwavering commitment to his Christian beliefs, stating, ‘A Christian does not marry to get a divorce,’ underscoring the depth of his efforts to salvage the marriage.
Reflecting on the unraveling of their relationship, Kaka recounted Celico’s desire to return to Brazil, coupled with her declaration of unhappiness within the marriage.
Despite his best efforts to reconcile, Kaka found himself grappling with the conflict between his faith and the reality of divorce.
Amidst the challenges, Kaka eventually found solace in his relationship with Brazilian model Carolina Dias. Their journey together culminated in an engagement earlier this year, marking a new chapter of happiness and fulfillment for the former footballer.
