Liverpool forward Diogo Jota gushed over his new wife in his final Instagram post before he died in a car crash in Spain on Thursday morning.
The 28-year-old Portuguese international — who tied the knot on June 22 in Porto with his longtime partner, Rute Cardoso, with whom he shares three children — shared a video recap commemorating their union one day before the tragic accident.
“A day we will never forget ????,” Jota and Cardoso captioned the joint post, which included footage of the couple dancing at their wedding reception.
In a separate post shared on June 27, the bride and groom are photographed at the altar in a church with their two sons and daughter, who arrived in November.
One photo showed the newlyweds flashing their wedding bands.
“Yes, forever,” the caption read, along with the couple’s wedding date.
Jota reacted to more stunning photos of Cardoso posing in her wedding gown that she shared on Monday.
“But I’m the lucky one ????,” he commented with a heart eyes emoji.
Jota also has his wife’s nickname, “Ru,” with a red heart emoji in his Instagram bio.
Cardoso and their three children supported him winning the Premier League with Liverpool in May.
The club confirmed the deaths of Jota and his 25-year-old brother, André Silva, who played with Portuguese club Penafiel in the lower divisions, on Thursday.
Jota and Silva were killed when the Lamborghini they were in veered off a road and burst into flames just after midnight, police said Thursday, according to the Associated Press.
Police were reportedly looking into the possibility that the car accident occurred as a result of a blown tire while the car tried to overtake another vehicle. It is unclear who was driving.
The tragedy struck after Jota and Cristiano Ronaldo helped the Portugal national team defeat Spain on penalties in the UEFA Nations League final last month.
Ronaldo offered his condolences to Jota’s family in a social media message.
