She said Kaká was a faithful and caring husband who provided a loving family.
However, despite being a great husband to her, Celico felt an unexplainable void. She said she was not happy.
"Kaká never betrayed me, he treated me well, he gave me a wonderful family, but I was not happy, something was missing. The problem was, he was too perfect for me," Celico said.
Kaká is known to be a devout man, and during their marriage, Celico joined the decorated player's church, where she even became an evangelical pastor.
However, in 2010, she quit the church and later established Horizontal Love, a charity dedicated to supporting Brazilian NGOs with food, hygiene, construction, and educational resources.
Who are Kaká and Celico dating now?
Following their split, Kaká found love with Brazilian model Carolina Dias in 2017.
The couple got engaged in January 2019 and tied the knot later in the same year, a moment the former Ballon d'Or joyfully shared on Instagram.
He wrote:
“He who finds a wife finds an excellent thing; he has received a blessing from the Lord. I love you @diasleite ❤️♾."
Kaká and Dias have one daughter together named Sarah.
Meanwhile, the footballer's ex-wife Celico started dating entertainer and entrepreneur Eduardo Scarpa Julião in 2016, a year after her split from Kaká.
Essentially Sports reports that the pair married in 2021 in a traditional church ceremony in Sao Paolo followed by an open-air celebration.
They are also expecting their first child together.
