In yet another explosive twist following the tragic death of Liverpool star Diogo Jota, newly released excerpts from the footballer’s will reveal that he had arranged monthly financial payments to a woman whose identity was completely unknown to his family — including his wife.
The information, originally sealed under a privacy clause, surfaced after a probate document was partially leaked online late last night. The leak quickly spread through social media, with many stunned to find a recurring line item for a “private monthly stipend” paid to a woman whose name had never been associated publicly or privately with Jota.
Who Is She? Wife Left in Shock
According to a source close to the family, Jota’s wife first saw the name during a review of financial transfers outlined in the will:
“She froze. She said she had never heard of this person — not from Diogo, not from his team, not from anyone. And the amount… it wasn’t insignificant.”
The will reportedly stipulates that the woman, listed only as “B. Marques”, is to receive €3,500 per month for an indefinite period, with the clause labeled under “personal responsibility — non-negotiable.”
Comments Explode With Speculation
Shortly after the leak, a series of anonymous comments appeared beneath the initial post on Reddit and later X (formerly Twitter), including alleged details from someone claiming to work at the legal firm that drafted the will. One chilling comment read:
“Ask about Lisbon, summer of 2015. That’s when it started.”
Another posted what appeared to be partial banking logs — showing that Jota had been sending money to the same account since at least 2018, years before his move to Liverpool.
Lawyer Confirms: “This Clause Was Handwritten by Diogo Himself”
In a brief press conference this morning, the Jota family lawyer reluctantly confirmed the clause was genuine:
“Yes, the clause exists. Yes, it was hand-added by Mr. Jota in his own handwriting before being notarized. We cannot comment on the nature of the relationship between Mr. Jota and the recipient.”
Theories Emerge — Hidden Past or Protected Secret?
Speculation is now rampant, with theories ranging from:
-
A secret child
-
An ex-partner under protection
-
A former teammate’s relative involved in a private incident
-
Or even a confidential legal settlement
No evidence yet supports any one theory, but fans and media outlets are demanding answers — especially after a close friend of Jota’s was quoted saying:
“There’s a whole side of Diogo none of us ever really knew. I think he was carrying a lot in silence.”
Family Statement: “We Are Devastated”
Jota’s wife has not made a public appearance since the news broke, but a spokesperson for the family issued a brief message:
“Diogo was a private man. This revelation has deeply shaken us, and we ask for time, space, and compassion as we process it.”
This latest revelation only deepens the mystery surrounding Jota’s final months — a period now filled with secret calls, unknown messages, and now… an anonymous woman woven directly into his legacy.
