Former Brazilian footballer Adriano has been slammed by his estranged wife after he posted a snap showing him with a pretty redhead on a yacht on his birthday.

Adriano Imperador’s ex-wife, the hairdresser Micaela Mesquita, took to social media to tell the former striker to send her divorce papers.

This is after he posed for snaps with a gorgeous redhead identified as Raquel Bastos on a yacht where he was celebrating his birthday yesterday, on Thursday, 16th February.

Adriano turns 41 today, but it appears that the party started early for the retired footballer, who is said to have splashed out on bottles of champers worth USD 3,000 a pop.

Micaela was none too pleased, it would seem, saying in her Instagram stories: “Oh, how beautiful! I wish you all the happiness in the world. Adriano, send me the divorce papers.”

But Raquel said: “He’s asking to date me, I said ‘I like skiing. Will we work out?’. We never even kissed, nothing. We are friends.”

Adriano and Micaela, 25, reportedly split up in December just 24 days into their wedding.

Micaela recently said on Instagram: “Love yourself first, before loving someone, value yourself before valuing someone. Take care of your sentimental life. Ask God for strength in this sensitive area of ​​yours. Don’t settle for less than you deserve.”
