52-year-old Matilde Faria met her husband 55-year-old Jose Mourinho when they were teenagers in a restaurant in Setúbal, Portugal; the young couple enjoyed afternoon discos when Faria was just 14 and Mourinho was 17.

Affair Rumors

Mourinho dedicated most part of his life in been a good father; he said his family is the center of his life (or at least that is what he said).

Several years ago there was a rumor that he cheated on his wife with another woman identified as Elsa Sousa while he lived in Italy; for two years Mourihno inteoduced Elsa Sousa as his wife.

Even divorce rumors were reported by some tabloids.

“Most important thing is my family and being a good father.”

“I have to do what they want,” Mourinho says. “I have to watch the programs they want to see, the movies they want to go to. Have to go to the wrestling because they enjoy the wrestling.”

But later there have been rumors from media in Portugal and Spain that Faria husband Mourinho has been in a special relationship with other woman. Matilde had to deal this kind of rumors about Jose’s women before.

Recent rumors say that Tami has been in contact with her lawyers to initiate divorce proceedings.

However, they are still together; and that is a good thing, he will need all the support she can give him now that Manchester United fired him.
