Brazil football icon Adriano was called out by his estranged wife after he posted a snap showing him with a mystery lady on a yacht.
All seems not to be well with former Brazil international Adriano Leite Ribeiro and his estranged wife Micaela Mesquita.
Tensions had been growing between the pair following reports that the ex-footballer’s wife filed for a divorce from him just 24 days after getting married.
According to a report from 'Extra Globo' via Marca, the former Inter Milan striker’s marriage with Micaela had hit a stumbling block.
Micaele is a hairdresser whom he was engaged to since 2015 but only got married to her on November 9, 2022.

Adriano who turned 41 today, appears to have begun the celebrations earlier and is said to have splashed out on bottles of champagne worth £2,500, as per The Sun.

However, the report adds the photo of Adriano and the redhead lady didn’t go down well with Micaela who reacted with a caption: "Oh, how beautiful! I wish you all the happiness in the world. Adriano, send me the divorce papers."
Micaela then wished Adriano a happy birthday with a message that read: "Even apart, I never forget today's date. Happy birthday! that you… you idiot.
"I wish you all the happiness in the world even if I hurt you I wish you well."
