Since January, Dani Alves has languished in Brians 2 prison in Barcelona and her relationship with his wife Joana Sanz, 29, has deteriorated.
Joana Sanz once visited Dani Alves in the prison and denied rumors she is pushing for divorce from Dani Alves after the arrest and prosecution.
However, last week, Joana Sanz took to her Instagram handle to announce her divorce from Dani Alves.

Dani Alves’s full letter to Joana Sanz reads;
“Since the day I met you, we have stuck and grown together, since the first minute we began our life.
“We followed each other through the years, giving each other strength and nurturing each other.
“Now, I know we are having a difficult time. but I regret you have called for divorce when I have longed for us to stay together. I would have loved you to give me another chance to love you again.
“I know very well this situation is putting us through unbearable pain and I know you are not able to stand the pressure.
“The accusations leveled against me are untrue. I have always upheld the values of effort, respect, and love for my life.
“I will fight as I always do without relenting with the support of people close to me and will prove that I am innocent.”
