Heartfelt Tribute: Diogo Jota's Widow Honors Their Love on Social Media
Rute Cardoso commemorates the love she shared with Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, who tragically died three weeks after their wedding.
The widow of Liverpool footballer Diogo Jota has publicly honored her late husband with a heartfelt message on social media, marking what would have been their one-month wedding anniversary. Rute Cardoso, who married Jota on June 22, shared a poignant post on Instagram, featuring three photos from their wedding day. Accompanying the images were the touching words, "one month of our 'until death do us part'," emphasizing her enduring love and commitment, stating she is "forever" his.
Diogo Jota, aged 28, tragically lost his life on July 3 when the Lamborghini he was in, along with his younger brother, Andre Silva, suffered a catastrophic tyre blow-out, leading to a crash and subsequent fire in Cernadilla, located in the Zamora province of Spain.
Jota joined Liverpool in 2020 from Wolverhampton Wanderers and quickly became a significant player, netting 65 goals across 182 appearances throughout his tenure. His contributions to the club were instrumental, helping them secure the FA Cup and the League Cup in 2022, and winning the Premier League title in the 2021-2022 season. In an outpouring of grief and respect, Liverpool FC recently decided to retire the number 20 jersey in his memory. Additionally, a mural has been erected near Anfield, showcasing his number and containing heartfelt messages from fans mourning his untimely passing.
