Rute Cardoso, the wife of Diogo Jota, has addressed the confusion surrounding her TikTok account. For some time, fans have speculated about a TikTok profile having over 180,000 followers and more than 2.2 million views, believing it to be Cardoso’s official account.

However, the 29-year-old recently addressed it in an Instagram story, denying the claims and clarifying that the profile does not belong to her. The original statement by Rute Cardoso read:

"I don’t have TIKTOK, any accounts with my name are fake! Thank you 🤍"

The couple reportedly started dating in 2013 and got married in June 2025. They had two sons and one daughter together. On July 3, Jota was involved in a car crash and died at the age of 28.
