Caroline Celico, the former wife of Brazilian football legend Ricardo Kaka, has refuted claims that she ended her relationship with the football star because he was too perfect for her.

The former Real Madrid forward and Celico tied the knot in December 2005 and have two children together: a son named Luca Celico Leite (born June 10, 2008), and a daughter named Isabella Celico Leite (born April 23, 2011).

After 10 years of marriage, the couple divorced without publicly disclosing the reason for their separation.

Recently, a quote attributed to Celico went viral, suggesting that she left Kaka because he was too perfect. However, Celico took to her Instagram story to clarify that the statement was false and fake. She emphasized that her decision to part ways with Kaka was mutual, and they continue to co-parent their children.

Celico also mentioned her current husband, Eduardo Scarpa Julião, and expressed optimism about their future 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.”
