Brazil football legend Kaka has broken his silence over his divorce in 2015, following a bizarre claim made by his ex-wife.
Kaka married his childhood sweetheart, Caroline Celico, while playing for AC Milan in 2005, and they had a son and daughter together before splitting a decade later.
Last week, it was reported that Celico claimed she left the marriage because “he was too perfect for me.”.
But Kaka, now 41, speaking on a podcast, as reported by Spanish outlet Sport, insists he did everything he could to avoid the split.
He said, “In 2015, I was married, and my wife at the time decided she didn’t want to be married anymore.
“She said, ‘I’m not happy, and I attribute my unhappiness to marriage’.
“I was living in the United States, and she asked to go back to Brazil.
“Her words were, ‘I want to go back to Brazil; I want to live there, and I don’t want to be married anymore’.”
