Brazil legend Adriano is to 'split from wife ONLY 24 days into marriage after cancelling plans to watch World Cup'

Adriano and Micaela Mesquita have ‘split up’ only 24 days into their marriage after the Brazil legend ‘disappeared’ to watch the World Cup for two days, according to stunning reports.

The 40-year-old former Inter Milan striker tied the knot with Mesquita, who is a hairdresser, last month and photos of their marriage papers were shared on social media.

Adriano and Mesquita had initially planned to marry each other in a civil ceremony on 30th November, but the pair decided to pull their date forward.

However, it would appear that Adriano and the 25-year-old hairdresser’s marriage has been short-lived after the former Brazil international scuppered their plans.

Extra reports that Adriano and Mesquita have now split after a spat over the World Cup in Qatar.

According to the Brazilian newspaper, Adriano reportedly decided to drive down to the Rio de Janeiro district Vila Cruzeiro to link up with his pals.

The Pro Evolution Soccer 6 legend wanted to watch Brazil compete against Switzerland in their Group B clash, with Tite’s men picking up a 1-0 win.

Adriano reportedly spent two days in Vila Cruzeiro before he returned home to Mesquita, a district of Rio de Janeiro, but it appears the damage might already have been done.

Extra claims that Adriano and Mesquita had a row over his whereabouts during the two days, with the pair breaking up after their argument.

Mesquita has now appeared to remove all of her Instagram photos with Adriano.

Adriano and Mesquita had also arranged a celebration with their family and friends on the weekend, but those plans were binned after their split.
