Diogo Jota's widow, Rute Cardoso, publicly accuses fraudulent social media profiles
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Rute Cardoso, the widow of footballer Diogo Jota, paid tribute to her husband on the day that would have marked their first month of marriage. The post, which has garnered thousands of 'likes', featured moments from their wedding and their wedding rings, accompanied by the emotional caption, "A month of our 'death cannot separate us'. Forever, your branquinha."
Rute Cardoso, who has almost two million followers on Instagram, maintains a low profile on social media but has shared heartfelt posts since her husband's passing. These verified posts appear to represent her official presence online, with no verified alternatives beyond those she has acknowledged. Any other accounts claiming to be her have been explicitly called out as fake by Rute Cardoso herself.
The tragic accident that took the lives of Diogo Jota and his friend André Silva occurred in the region of Zamora, Spain. According to reports, Diogo Jota was driving the car and lost control after a tire burst while attempting to pass another vehicle. The car subsequently collided with the central barrier and resulted in an explosion, causing a devastating fire.
The footballing community was left in shock by the news of Diogo Jota's death. His parents were present at Molineux Stadium, where a tribute was held in his honour during a game between Wolverhampton and Manchester City on August 16. Rute Cardoso, the parents of Diogo Jota, and the parents of André Silva were all emotional during the tribute.
Rubén Neves, a player for Al Hilal and a close friend of the late Diogo Jota, was also present at the game. Neves, along with many others in the footballing world, has paid tribute to Diogo Jota since his passing.
It is important to note that there are no publicly verified social media accounts for Rute Cardoso other than the ones she herself has identified. Rute Cardoso has cautioned the public about fake accounts pretending to be her, particularly on TikTok. Several TikTok pages with Rute Cardoso's name share family moments, but these accounts are not verified and have been called out as fake by Rute Cardoso herself.
Despite the tragic circumstances, the outpouring of support for Rute Cardoso and Diogo Jota's family has been overwhelming. Rute Cardoso's tribute post on social media serves as a poignant reminder of the love and connection that endures even in the face of unimaginable loss.
