In a sensational revelation that adds yet another explosive twist to the unraveling private life of the late Diogo Jota, investigators have gained access to the footballer’s iCloud account — and discovered a hidden folder containing 30 private photos of Jota with a woman who is not his wife.
The images, though partially obscured with half-cropped portraits and no visible captions, have already set the internet ablaze. Why? Because — as one investigator put it — “Even without seeing her full face, everyone in Britain knows exactly who she is.”
The Photos: Half Faces, Full Implications
Recovered as part of the police’s digital forensic sweep of Jota’s synced devices, the photos span a period of nearly three years, all saved under an encrypted album titled simply: “W 2”.
Each image follows a similar pattern:
-
Candid angles of Jota leaning close to the woman at restaurants, in hotel rooms, or walking side by side
-
Her face only partially shown — turned away from the camera, cropped at the eyes, or blocked by sunglasses
-
Several photos feature intimate settings, including one where Jota is shirtless, holding the woman’s hand
-
A particularly striking photo shows the woman wearing a hoodie emblazoned with the name of a UK-based reality TV show, sparking even deeper speculation online
The Internet Reacts: “Everyone Knows Who She Is”
Despite the partial concealment, Britain’s social media users have erupted with confident — and unified — speculation about the woman’s identity.
Within hours, the top three trending terms on X (formerly Twitter) included:
-
#JotaAffair
-
#SheWasInTheShow
-
#YouCanCropTheFaceButNotTheFame
One viral post shows a side-by-side comparison of a cropped photo from Jota’s iCloud with a widely known UK celebrity’s public Instagram post from the same week — wearing the same necklace, same nails, and same ring.

Jota’s Wife “Stunned and Silent”
According to a source close to the family, Jota’s widow was shown the photos this morning by police.
“She was silent for nearly five minutes. Then she asked, ‘Was this just emotional — or something he was protecting?’”
Family members say this new revelation may completely reshape the legal strategy around the contested second will, the foreign beneficiary, and Jota’s unexplained financial movements prior to his death.
Police Now Investigating Celebrity Connection
Merseyside Police have confirmed they are cross-referencing metadata from the photos with travel records, location logs, and hotel surveillance footage.
A senior detective stated:
“The nature of this relationship — emotional, romantic, or otherwise — could be central to understanding Mr. Jota’s mindset and potential motives behind recent undisclosed financial activity.”
Liverpool FC Declines to Comment
The club has issued no statement following the iCloud discovery, though sources say senior staff are now conducting an internal review of any club-related travel, sponsorship, or charity events that may have overlapped with the woman in question.
What’s Next?
-
British tabloids are reportedly preparing to name the woman if her involvement is confirmed by metadata or security footage
-
Lawyers for the Jota family are requesting a temporary hold on all estate proceedings, citing emotional distress and potential fraud
-
A media blackout order may be filed if the woman is confirmed to be a public figure under contractual obligations
