Rúben Amorim He is discreet, averse to the media and likes to preserve his personal side, but there were times when, suddenly, he saw his most intimate life exposed, in one of the highest-rated programs: ‘Casa dos Segredos‘, on TVI.
It all happened in October 2010. At the time, the then football player played for Benfica and was surprised to see that competitor Vera Ferreira was hiding a secret that put him in the spotlight: “having had an affair with a football player from the Portuguese national team“.
On the program, Veríssima, as she was known, did not mention Amorim’s name, but days later the press made the connection and the young woman’s own mother ended up confirming the romance.
“It’s true, she went out with Rúben Amorim. I think they met at a party, through mutual friends, a while before she joined ‘Casa’… It was when she was taking the tests. I’m not sure how long it lasted, I don’t know if it was a month or two, but they were together more than once. He walked away when Vera told him about the program and we think it was because of that, but we don’t know either, he could have already had that in mind and it could have been a coincidence”, he clarified at the time.

With the case causing a lot of ink in the press, Rúben Amorim would end up being confronted with Vera’s secret, ending up devaluing the matter. “Everyone says what they want, whether it’s right or wrong. I can’t close my mouth to anyone. I miss seeing my name on these types of programs. That’s not part of my life and I don’t need it for anything” , shoot, without wanting to expand”, he reiterated, while Amorim’s best friend, Inês Valera, came to his defense.
“That’s a lie. Rúben is a very well-educated person and, unfortunately, women in Portugal want to have notoriety and fame in an atrocious way.”

Later, and given the escalation of news on the matter, the player would end up releasing a statement in which, through his representative, he denied any involvement. “It is with displeasure that the player has watched the comments and news broadcast and, as such, guarantees that the statements made by the aforementioned competitor are not true. The footballer only saw the competitor circumstantially once and never had any type of relationship , including friendship, with her.”
A few years later, he began dating the person who would become his wife, Maria João Diogo, mother of his two children, with whom he is now preparing to begin a new life adventure in England, at the helm of Manchester United. .
