Diogo Jota's wife shares 'first dance' photos in heartbreaking new tribute to Liverpool ace

Diogo Jota's wife has paid tribute to the Liverpool star in a heartbreaking new tribute.

Jota, 28, was killed in a road traffic accident earlier this month alongside his brother when they were travelling in a car just north of the Portuguese border in Spain. The Liverpool star had been back in his native country after the end of the season.

The 28-year-old had tied the knot with his wife Rute Cardoso before he tragically passed. And, one month on from their wedding, Rute has paid tribute to her late husband.

The first snap shows their hands being held with their wedding rings on show, with the latter two pics showing them sharing what appears to be their first dance.

Rute said, adding two white heart emojis: "1 month of our 'until death do us part'. For ever, Your white girl."

Jota was reportedly heading to catch a ferry, on doctors' orders, and return to the UK when he died in a car crash alongside his brother at the start of July.

The Liverpool forward was driving through Zamora, Spain, in a Lamborghini when his flat tyre suddenly burst and sent the car veering off the road.

Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, were pronounced dead at the scene.

Jota's final post before his death was a post about his wedding and he shared a clip with the caption "A day we will never forget."

They had shared pictures of them in front of the altar with their three children and the couple emerging from the ceremony with a bouquet of pink and white roses.

Rute shared further pictures from their wedding day in a new post on her own page and said: "My dream come true." Smitten Jota left a comment which said: "I’m the lucky one."
