Caroline Celico, the former wife of Brazilian football legend Ricardo Kaka, has refuted circulating reports suggesting she ended their relationship because he was "too perfect for her." She clarified that their separation was mutual, and they continued to co-parent their two children. Kaka and Celico tied the knot in December 2005 and share two kids: Luca Celico Leite (born June 10, 2008) and Isabella Celico Leite (born April 23, 2011). Despite their divorce ten years later, neither had publicly disclosed the reason until a suspected fake quote attributed to Celico surfaced recently.

The statement, which read, "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 was that he was too perfect for me," has ignited speculation from fans worldwide. Some have criticized her, while others suggest she may not have been content with the 2007 Ballon d’Or winner.

However, Celico took to her Instagram story to dispel the viral statement about her divorce from Kaká, labeling it both 'false' and 'fake'. She also addressed her future with her current husband, Eduardo Scarpa Julião.

The chef and food content creator penned, "To those who haven't heard from me in a while... or perhaps have never heard from me before."

"Unfortunately, there have been some fake news and fabricated quotes circulating. Allow me to provide an update:

"I went through a divorce nearly 10 years ago, after a 14-year relationship, resulting in two wonderful teenagers.

"Fast forward almost 8 years, I've been happily married to my husband Eduardo, and we're expecting our first child next month.

"I hold my life's journey in high regard and am grateful for every experience. My ex-husband and I have found a healthy way to co-parent our children, and for that, I'm immensely thankful.

"Feel free to join me on my social media platforms where I share about various topics like family, work, and spirituality with respect and love.

"Thank you."

Remember that the ex-AC Milan and Real Madrid midfielder remained a single father for approximately four years before tying the knot with Brazilian model Carolina Dias.

In the meantime, Kaká's former wife and her husband are also anticipating the arrival of their first child.
