Jota's Wife Posts Emotional Tribute to Late Player Who Dies 2 Weeks after Wedding

Rute Cardoso, the wife of the late Liverpool star Diogo Jota, shared touching photos on her Instagram account to mark one month since their wedding.

Jota and Cardoso were married last June in a family ceremony in Porto, Portugal. 

However, less than two weeks later, the player, along with his brother André Silva, was involved in a tragic car accident on July 3, which led to their deaths.

Jota’s sudden departure left a deep impact on the football world, as he was 28 years old and left behind his wife and three children: Dinis (4 years), Duarte (2 years), and Madalva (8 months).

Liverpool Football Club confirmed that the player’s number 20 shirt will be officially retired in his honor, with a promise to support his family during this painful ordeal."
