Dani Alves and Joana Sanz have announced their separation after nine years of marriage. The couple, who tied the knot in 2017, have faced challenges in their relationship, particularly due to Alves' growing dedication to his role as an evangelical preacher.
Sanz, a model from the Canary Islands, has expressed that Alves' commitments have resulted in extended periods away from home, contributing to their decision to part ways.
The couple's relationship has been under scrutiny, especially following Alves' high-profile career as a professional footballer, which has included stints at some of the world's top clubs.
As they move forward separately, both Alves and Sanz have indicated their desire to maintain a respectful relationship.
