Kaka posts a photo with his second wife Carol Batista Leite on Instagram. |
The photo exuded romance, but the comments section quickly filled with teasing, humorous jabs about Kaka's relationship with his ex-wife, Carol Celico.
Kaka and Celico's relationship was once considered an ideal in the football world. They were together for over 10 years and had two children before divorcing in 2015.
In 2024, Celico shocked the public when she shared the reason for their split: "He was too perfect." She confirmed that the former Brazilian player had never been unfaithful and was always a good, exemplary father, but his "perfection" made her unhappy. This statement quickly became a topic of discussion, memes, and widespread social media buzz.

Thus, Kaka's photo with Carol Batista became an opportunity for many to playfully tease him. Comments like, "Don't be too perfect this time," "Leave wet towels on the bed," and "It's okay to forget an anniversary or two" received many likes.
Many even advised him to be less tidy and polite for a more authentic relationship. "Stop opening the car door for her," "Leave dirty clothes lying around," and "Make her angry once in a while" were among the witty suggestions sent to the former AC Milan and Real Madrid star.
The post attracted over 260,000 likes and sparked a lively conversation about expectations and "perfection" in love. Besides the teasing, many offered congratulations to Kaka and praised Carol Batista, who is accompanying the former player in this new chapter of his life.
Kaka began dating Carol in 2016, shortly after his divorce from Celico in late 2015. They got engaged at the end of 2019 and married in November 2019 in a private ceremony.
Kaka often shares everyday moments with Carol, from travel and family activities to daily routines, and receives positive feedback. These simple but warm images help build his new image: not just a football legend, but also a family man.

Kaka began his career at Sao Paulo and quickly rose to prominence after moving to AC Milan in 2003. There, he won Serie A, the Champions League, and notably the 2007 Ballon d'Or, becoming the last player to win this award before the dominant era of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi began.
In 2009, Kaka moved to Real Madrid for a record fee but did not perform as expected due to injuries. He returned to Milan, then played for Orlando City in the US before retiring in 2017.
Kaka played for Brazil from 2002 to 2016, scoring 29 goals in 92 matches. In 2002, at the age of 20, he won the World Cup with the national team. Kaka also reached the quarterfinals of the 2006 and 2010 World Cups with Brazil.
