Caroline Celico, the former wife of Brazilian football hero Ricardo Kaka, has denied stating she broke up with him because he was too “perfect for her”.
The former Real Madrid forward married Celico in December 2005, and they have two children: Luca Celico Leite (born June 10, 2008) and Isabella Celico Leite (born April 23, 2011).
Ten years after their marriage, the couple split, with neither of them sharing the cause. Over the weekend, a quote believed to be from Celico went viral.
The statement read, “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.”
The phoney statement elicited varied emotions online, with many blaming her for abandoning the renowned footballer.

She also discussed her future with her current husband, Eduardo Scarpa Julião.
According to her, she and Kaka split up on mutual terms, and they have been parenting their two children together.
The chef and food content creator wrote,
“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.”
