«A Christian does not marry to get divorced». This is how Kakà tried to summarize his state of mind when, in 2015, his wife told him that she wanted to put an end to their marriage. Faith on the one hand, an exhausted love on the other because for her, Caroline Celicolifelong companion of the Brazilian striker, “the problem was that he was too perfect for me.”
Amazement and disappointment at the same time, because the former Milan number 22 had to surrender to this label (too) perfect husband which led to the final breakup after almost ten years of marriage and two children, Luca and Isabella. «Kaka never betrayed me – he then added -. She treated me well and gave me a wonderful family, but I wasn’t happy. Something was missing.”
Kakà himself has now responded to Caroline’s reconstruction: «In 2015 my wife decided she no longer wanted to be with me. She said, “I am not happy and I attribute my unhappiness to the marriage.” I lived in the United States and she asked me to return to Brazil.” Kaka did everything not to break the sacrament and Don’t end up in front of lawyershe tried to recover the relationship but this further impulse as a too perfect husband did not change the mind of the one who in the space of a few weeks became his ex-wife.
«I also read a book called ‘Prova de Fogo’, which is fantastic and I recommend it to anyone marital problems. I did everything I could to avoid divorce, because it is at that moment that the Christian’s conflict arises. Afterwards I remained single for a year, trying to assimilate the situation and facing it as a Christian, talking to the pastors. Because the Bible says not to do it and instead I was there getting a divorce.”
Kakà, now 41 years old, has never hidden his faith and in his Instagram bio he presents himself as “Son of God, disciple of Jesus”. But immediately afterwards also as husband of Carolina Batista. Because two years after the divorce she found another partner who became hers second wife in 2019 and with whom he had two more daughters, Esther and Sarah. Dad again and husband again. Perfect (but not too much this time) for his Carolina.
