Diogo Jota's wife posts ‘forever' tribute to mark one month since wedding
Liverpool and Portugal star Jota died in a car crash in Spain on July 3 at the age of 28 along with his 25-year-old brother André Silva – who was also a professional footballer.
In a post on Instagram, Cardoso shared photographs from their wedding day on June 22, along with an emotional message.
'1 month since our 'til death do us part,'' she said Tuesday, adding she was 'forever' his.
Jota married his long-term partner Cardoso less than two weeks before the crash. The couple had three children together.
The soccer world has rallied behind the family since Jota's death. His funeral was attended by many current players, including Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Portugal star Rúben Neves.
Cardoso was pictured embracing other mourners as she arrived at the church ahead of the ceremony on July 5.
Liverpool, the team Jota was playing for before his death, has since retired his No. 20 shirt.
A mural of the star has also been painted on a wall in the city.
Jota was a vital part of Liverpool's recent success, lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of last season.
He was also part of the Portugal national team which won the Nations League in June this year, having also won the competition in 2019.

How Liverpools transfer plans signal a new era for the team
Almost nobody could have predicted how seriously the Reds have taken this summer window. But we should have paid attention when Virgil van Dijk spoke after a big win against West Ham in May. He expected to see significant changes that would help the team improve on their Premier League title win. This happened right before he and Salah signed new contracts to stay at the club for a few more years. Liverpool has since spent more than £200 million on new players. Which deals have been completed so far? Slot likes to have all of his players ready before preseason starts so they can play together and learn the system. It also helps him choose his first eleven and know which players to rely on. Liverpool has signed some key players to boost its hopes for next season. Many people already expect the team to retain the league title, and this confidence will show in the live betting odds they receive. Will they win their 21st Premier League title? Time will tell as they look to bring more players to strengthen their center-back and center-forward positions. Coming in Milos Kerkez The 21-year-old left-back, who moved to Liverpool for £40 million, will take over the position as Robertson gets older and may leave the club. He scored twice and helped set up six goals in 38 games for Bournemouth last season. Jeremie Frimpong Liverpool brought in the 24-year-old to replace Trent Alexander-Arnold. He can play as a right-back or winger. The club paid his £29.5 million release fee to bring him over from Bayer Leverkusen on a six-year deal. Florian Wirtz Many top clubs wanted Wirtz, but Liverpool won the heart of this super talent. They paid £100 million upfront, with another £16 million possible in bonuses. This five-year deal surpasses the previous British record of £115 million, which Chelsea paid for Moises Caicedo. The midfielder scored 10 goals and made 12 assists in 25 starts for Leverkusen last season. Giorgi Mamardashvili A young goalkeeper is another welcome addition to this Liverpool team. Liverpool agreed to pay up to £29 million for Georgian goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili last summer, but he joins the Reds this season. The club also signed 20-year-old Armin Pecsi and Freddie Woodman on a free transfer from Preston North End. Liverpool may still add a striker, such as Alexander Isak or Viktor Gyokeres, and a center-back. Transfer out Liverpool has made several key sales to offset its heavy spending on new players. Caoimhin Kelleher The Irish goalkeeper, Kelleher, moved to Brentford for €14.8 million. He had served as Liverpool's backup keeper for several seasons. Trent Alexander-Arnold Alexander-Arnold completed a shocking €10 million transfer to Real Madrid. The England right-back had been with Liverpool since childhood and became one of their most important players. His departure surprised many fans who expected him to stay for his entire career. The relatively low fee was due to the fact that he was in the final year of his contract. Nat Phillips The center-back joined West Bromwich Albion for €3.5 million on July 1st, 2025. Phillips had limited opportunities at Liverpool despite some strong performances in previous seasons. He needed regular playing time to continue his development. Jarell Quansah Bayer Leverkusen secured the signing of 22-year-old center-back Jarell Quansah in a deal worth up to €35 million. The German club paid an initial fee of €30 million with an additional €5 million available through performance-related bonuses. Quansah had shown promise at Liverpool but struggled to get consistent playing time in their crowded defense. Liverpool Enters a Bold New Chapter Liverpool has always been known for building strong connections with its players and keeping them for many years. The club values loyalty and provides players with the time to grow and improve. This approach proved effective during Jürgen Klopp's successful tenure as manager. Arne Slot now leads the team with a fresh approach that changes how Liverpool operates. He still respects the club's traditions but applies them in a more direct and business-focused way. Slot makes quick decisions based on what works best for the team, rather than being influenced by emotional attachments to individual players. The new manager demands immediate results and clear improvement in performance. He judges players on their current ability rather than what they might become in the future. The decision to sell Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen perfectly demonstrates this change in thinking. Many fans saw Quansah as a future star who could anchor Liverpool's defense for years to come. The young defender had worked his way up through the youth system and showed promise in his limited appearances. However, Slot decided that the promise alone was not enough to guarantee a place in his plans. The manager needed players who could contribute immediately rather than those who might develop over time. The new approach may seem harsh, but it could help Liverpool achieve success more quickly.
