Rute Cardoso, wife of Diogo Jota, took their children to Phi Phi Island to celebrate the 3rd birthday of their little whirlwind son, Duarte, amid warm images of siblings caring closely for each other.
On 8 Mar 2026 GMT+7, Rute Cardoso, the strong wife of former Liverpool striker Diogo Jota, shared touching photos on her personal Instagram as she took all three children to Thailand for a vacation and to create happy memories.
The special trip marked the birthday of “Duarte,” the second son who turned three, following the recent birthday of the eldest son, “Dinis.” Rute took the trio on a boat to experience the clear waters of Phi Phi Island in Krabi Province, posting a brief but meaningful caption: "B-Day do mini furacão" or "Birthday of the little hurricane," referring to her son's lively energy and brightness, which is a vital source of strength for the family.
What moved fans deeply were the images showing the love and bond among the three siblings—Dinis, Duarte, and their youngest sister—who seemed especially excited about the boat trip in the Thai sea. Notably, eldest brother Dinis took on a fatherly role, attentively caring for and comforting his younger siblings throughout.
This trip to Thailand represents an important rest period for the Jota family after facing a difficult time due to the sudden passing of Diogo Jota in a car accident in early July 2025. The bright and joyful images of the children symbolize a new beginning filled with enduring love.
