Rute Cardoso, who was left widowed by the death of her husband Diogo Jota just 11 days after their wedding, has broken her silence following his death.
The Liverpool FC footballer died aged 28 when his car crashed in Northern Spain on July 3. His brother Andre Silva also died in the crash. The footballer was laid to rest at a funeral two days after his death. Rute was seen sobbing at the service.
The couple met at school as teenagers and had been together for 13 years. They shared sons Dinis, four, and Duarte, two, and a baby girl.
The footballer had left his young family hours before the fatal crash, after having lunch with them in Portugal. Jota was reportedly heading to catch a ferry to return to the UK when he died in a car crash.
