Handsome, Brazilian, and a legendary footballer, it’s no wonder Kaka is the main topic of many headlines, even though he retired in 2017.
While he was still playing football, Kaka’s personal life was mostly stable. Other than his fantastic dribbles and his awe-worthy goals, the news channels didn’t find anything juicy in his life to post about.
That’s until he divorced his first wife and proposed to a Brazilian model two years later. So, what happened? And who is Carolina Dias, Kaka’s second wife?
What We Know About Carolina Dias
Because she’s not a public figure, not much information is available about Carolina Dias. She’s a 29-year-old Brazilian model who’d already established a career before meeting Kaka.
According to Dias, her modeling career started when she was still a child. She’d get brief modeling jobs that involved posing in front of a camera, so she developed a passion for the career.
She started doing independent modeling until signing with the Ford Modeling Agency. From then on, Dias started modeling for major Brazilian brands, including Easy Sim 4U and Eve Beauty. She also served as the advisor and spokesperson for Choisir.
Aside from modeling, it looks like Dias is interested in blogging as well.
Ever since she married Kaka, she’s grown a substantial followers list, and she’s constantly sharing day-to-day updates with her followers, featuring her husband and kids.
Carolina Dias’ Marriage to Ricardo Kaka
Kaka and Dias reportedly met in 2016, only one year after the Brazilian footballer got a divorce from his first wife. The couple hit it off once they met, and only one year later, Kaka popped the question, and they stayed engaged for two years.
In 2019, the couple tied the knot, and since then, they’ve been going strong. They even have two daughters together, and they constantly share images of their travel trips and family lives.

After getting a divorce from his childhood love, fans thought Kaka would never move on, but he’s apparently in love and going strong in his 6-year-old marriage.
Despite the 13-year gap between Kaka and his wife, his fans believe that he finally found ‘the one.’
According to Dias, she was interested in football from a young age, and she used to go to games with her father since her early childhood.
Maybe it’s the widespread love for football in Brazil, and maybe it’s fate because she ended up marrying a footballer!
Did Kaka Betray His Wife With Carolina Dias?
Kaka started dating his current wife shortly after he divorced Caroline Celico, his first wife and childhood sweetheart. So, does that mean he betrayed his wife?
The Truth Behind Kaka’s First Marriage
Kaka’s first marriage was to his childhood sweetheart, Caroline Celico. She was born on the 26th of July, 1987, making her 37 years old at the time of writing. Like Kaka, she’s a native Brazilian, and she met the legendary footballer when she was only 15 years old—5 years younger than him.
The couple met in 2002 when Caroline was schooling at St Paul’s in Sao Paulo. They dated for two years before Kaka proposed to her, and they got married in 2005—Kaka was only 23 years old at the time.
Despite their young-age marriage, the couple stayed together for ten years, during which Kaka signed with Real Madrid and moved to Spain with his family.
In 2013, the couple returned to reside in Italy, and only two years later, they announced their divorce through an Instagram post.

Rumors spread around like wildfire that Kaka got a divorce because he cheated on his wife. What made things worse is that no one knew the real reason behind the split, so everyone were spitting out theories about their own versions of the story.
The Real Reason Kaka Got a Divorce
Contrary to some rumors, the Brazilian footballer was as loyal as they come, and this comes from none other than his first wife. According to Caroline Celico, Kaka never betrayed her. In fact, she stated that he treated her exceptionally well and gave her an amazing family.
The couple have known each other since childhood and have been married for 10 years. On top of that, they have two kids together.
In her own words, he was too perfect for her, and she didn’t feel happy toward the end of their relationship.
