Before his death in a fiery crash in Spain, Liverpool soccer star Diogo Jota was on top of the world, celebrating his new wedding to girlfriend and now-wife Rute Cardoso.
In fact, Jota's final Instagram posts were of a video and photos showing the wedding.
Those posts have now filled up with emotional tributes to Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Silva, who both perished in a Lamborghini crash on July 3 in Spain.
A day before the crash, Jota posted a now heartbreaking video from his wedding to Cardoso on his Instagram page. He wrote, "A day we will never forget 🤍"
The wedding video shows Jota and his new wife staring into each other's eyes. According to the New York Post, Jota and Cardoso married on June 22. That site described her as his "longtime partner" and noted that they shared three children together.
Heartbroken fans are now posting tributes on Jota's Instagram thread. "What to say to a wife who loses the love of her life, to three children who lost their father and to two parents who lost their two children... I just wish you the greatest strength in the world and that together you will be able to soften this great pain," wrote one person on his comment thread.
Jota also posted a photo showing him standing with his new wife at the altar on their wedding day. He wrote on Instagram, "June 22, 2025. Yes to forever ♾️"
His wife Rute Cardoso posted the same video to her Instagram page. She also posted a photo showing her in her wedding gown and, now tragically, wrote, "My dream came true 🤍" That was just three days before the fatal crash killed her soccer star husband and his brother.
She also recently posted a photo showing the couple with their three young kids.
