The childhood sweethearts, Celico and Kaká, exchanged vows in 2005 and remained together until their divorce in 2015.

Their union was blessed with two children: a son, Luca, now 15, and a daughter, Isabella, aged 12.

According to The Sun, Celico disclosed that their parting was not a result of infidelity.

She said Kaká was a faithful and caring husband who provided a loving family.

However, despite being a great husband to her, Celico felt an unexplainable void. She said she was not happy.

"Kaká never betrayed me, he treated me well, he gave me a wonderful family, but I was not happy, something was missing. The problem was, he was too perfect for me," Celico told The Sun.

Kaká is known to be a devout man, and during their marriage, Celico joined the decorated player's church, where she even became an evangelical pastor.

However, in 2010, she quit the church and later established Horizontal Love, a charity dedicated to supporting Brazilian NGOs with food, hygiene, construction, and educational resources.

He wrote:

“He who finds a wife finds an excellent thing; he has received a blessing from the Lord. I love you @diasleite ❤️♾."

Kaká and Dias have one daughter together named Sarah.

Meanwhile, the footballer's ex-wife Celico started dating entertainer and entrepreneur Eduardo Scarpa Julião in 2016, a year after her split from Kaká.

Essentially Sports reports that the pair married in 2021 in a traditional church ceremony in Sao Paolo followed by an open-air celebration.

The couple had a prenuptial agreement and had no children or significant legal disputes, making the split quick and clean.

According to AP News, Ariana agreed to make a one-time payment of $1.25m (GH₵16.8 million) in the divorce settlement.
