Brazil legend Kaka’s wife reveals bizarre reason why she left him
Brazil legend Kaka’s ex-wife, Caroline Celico, has revealed the utterly bizarre reason why she left him. As per Celico, Kaka was “too perfect” for her, he never treated her badly, but she remained unhappy in the relationship.
While these comments seem impossible to believe, the timing of her releasing this information also begs questioning as it is out of the blue.
What did Kaka’s wife think of their relationship?
Kaka and Caroline Celico tied the knot in 2006 but things turned sour a decade later. Speaking about the relationship they shared, Celico said about Kaka,
“Kaka never betrayed me, he always treated me well, and he gave me a wonderful family, but I was not happy, something was missing. The problem is he was too perfect for me.”
Celico’s comments caused major uproar among fans of Kaka who have supported him throughout his playing days for AC Milan, Real Madrid and Brazil. They were unhappy with the nature of the comments as it implied that Kaka was a boring person with a dull personality, which is far from true.
He has been hailed as a warm and caring teammate by nearly everyone he played with. However, Celico and his relationship went through a rocky phase and they separated in 2015. Kaka has now moved on and married their current partner Carolina Dias Liete.
