With remarkable candour, emotional clarity, and profound personal conviction, former Brazilian football great Ricardo Kaká has spoken up about a traumatic period in his life: the breakup of his first marriage. His recent confession has sparked discussions about faith, love, and the difficulty of letting go all over the world. In an emotional account, Kaká shared how he battled valiantly to preserve his marriage in 2015 as it started to crumble. Despite his best efforts, he was unable to salvage his marriage, but he did learn something. “Once someone has decided to leave, you can’t make them stay.” This broke the player’s back, says the ex-AC Milan and Real Madrid midfielder.
