It’s been a month since Rute Cardoso and Diogo Jota tied the knot, and now she’s marking the heartbreaking milestone without him by her side.
Just 11 days after saying “I do,” Rute lost her husband—the beloved Liverpool forward—in a tragic car crash that also claimed the life of his brother.
On what should have been a joyful one-month anniversary, Rute shared an emotional post that captured the depth of her grief and love.
A Touching Tribute Through Memories
Rute posted three wedding photos on social media, one of them a close-up of her and Diogo holding hands.
Alongside the images, she wrote a short but powerful caption:
“1 month of our ‘until death do us part’. Forever. Your white girl.”
The message was raw, poignant, and full of heartbreak—showing just how deeply their bond ran, even in such a short time as husband and wife.
The Tragedy That Shook Football Fans
Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva lost their lives in the early hours of July 3, when their car crashed in northern Spain. The news stunned fans across the world and hit the football community hard.
The accident came less than two weeks after Jota’s wedding, turning what should have been the start of a new chapter into a devastating ending.
Liverpool’s Emotional Tribute to Their No. 20
In a gesture that speaks to just how much Jota meant to the club, Liverpool announced that they would retire his iconic No. 20 jersey across all levels of play.
The decision was made after careful discussions with Rute and Jota’s family, honoring his legacy both on and off the pitch.
More To Come as Tributes Continue
Rute’s emotional tribute is just the beginning of what will likely be a long season of remembrance for Diogo Jota.
As fans, friends, and former teammates continue to process the loss, more tributes and celebrations of his life are expected in the weeks ahead.
