The father-of-three, who married his long-term partner Rute Cardoso 11 days before the accident, died alongside his brother, Andre Silva, after a Lamborghini they were travelling in burst into flames following a suspected tyre blowout in Zamora in the early hours of July 3. On Tuesday, Jota's wife shared three pictures of the two of them at their wedding, and wrote: 'One month of our 'until death do us part'. For ever, your white girl.'
