Joana Sanz reportedly makes u-turn on potential divorce from Dani Alves
Dani Alves who has seen his marriage to Joana Sanz hit a stumbling block, might now find a reason to smile over his estranged wife’s latest comments.
Joana Sanz, 29, was reportedly upset over Alves’ interview last week, and told the journalist Leticia Requejo, also from El programa de Ana Rosa, that she was very angry because she considered that the Brazilian footballer had put her back in the media spotlight.
"I don't want to know anything about Dani. I totally pass, let Dani do, undo and speak what he wants," the Tenerife model is reported to have told the journalist as per Cuatro al día.
However, Sanz, who had previously revealed her intention to divorce the former Pumas and PSG defender took to her social media page to clarify what she meant in her reaction to Dani Alves’ recent interview.
In a video posted on her Instagram stories, she said, as transcribed by Dario AS:
"I haven't said I want to walk away from him. I've just said that I don't care what the media says. I want to get away from this, not from him.
"I will be by his side, a relationship is one thing, but he is my family. It's eight years together, therefore, I will be by your side. Like it or not. Stop talking about other people's lives,"
Sanz’s statement confirms that her plans to separate from the footballer are currently on hold, pending the outcome of the trial.
The Spanish model is still very much in love with her husband and has constantly shown that since his arrest earlier this year.
Pulse Sports reported that she penned a romantic birthday note to him when he turned 40 in May, and she has also been spotted visiting the footballer while he remains in temporary detention.
