Jota's death comes just weeks after his wedding.

He married Rute Cardoso last month, having been in a relationship with her since 2012.

She is the mother to their three children.

Jota proposed to Rute back in July 2022 before tying the knot on June 22, 2025.

They both took to Instagram to share their special day on social media, collaborating on a post.

The video of their wedding is accompanied with the caption: "A day we will never forget."

Jota joined Liverpool from Wolves in the summer of 2020.

He scored 65 goals in 182 games for Liverpool and helped his team win the Premier League title last season.

The Portuguese has also won the FA Cup and EFL Cup as well as two Nations League title with his national team.
