Dani Alves y Joana Sanz se separan tras nueve años de matrimonio por la creciente fe del exfutbolista
La modelo canaria alega como motivo de la ruptura el actual desempeño como predicador y conferenciante evangélico del brasileño, que lo lleva a estar largos periodos de tiempo distanciado de ella y de su hija para participar en eventos religiosos por todo el mundo
Ex-footballer Dani Alves, 43, reportedly experienced a profound spiritual conversion after serving time in prison for raping a young woman on December 30, 2022, in Barcelona. He was released from prison in March 2024 after posting a one million euro bail and completing only 14 months of his four-year and six-month sentence. In March 2025, the Supreme Court of Catalonia acquitted Alves of sexual assault, citing a "lack of reliability in the testimony of the complainant," though the prosecution appealed the decision.
Since then, the Brazilian has publicly preached as an evangelical preacher at churches and events, including the large-scale "The Change" held in Madrid's Metropolitano Stadium in early May. However, his devotion has taken a toll on his marriage. During an Instagram conversation on November 13 with his current partner, model Joana Sanz, 34, she revealed their separation, attributing it to Alves' increasing religious fervor.
Sanz stated, "And I am not a believer. The more I see what he does, the further I distance myself from all that. I want to clarify that we have been separated for some time due to precisely that reason."
