Who is Jose Mourinho's wife Matilde Faria, when did he get married and how many children do the couple have?
But things have come crashing down around the Special One this week after he was sacked by Man United and The Sun on Sunday revealed his secret holidays with blonde Prue Carter-Robinson.
Who is Jose Mourinho's wife Matilde Faria?
MOURINHO met his wife Matilde, nicknamed Tami when they were teenagers in Setubal.
Childhood sweethearts, they married in 1989 and have their 30th wedding anniversary coming up in 2019.
A devoted family man, Mourinho has said in the past that the 'most important thing [in my life] is my family and being a good father'.
His wife has had a big influence on his career, even once convincing him to reject the England job.
Mourinho said of that decision in 2014: "Lampard, Terry, Joe Cole, everybody, was saying, ‘Come, come, come.
"My players said, ‘The guys from Manchester United and Liverpool call us and say to us: Tell your boss to come.’ I had lots of positive things to push me.
"My wife told me not to take it and she was right.
"It was the right decision. We are talking about seven years ago … and I cannot wait two years for a big competition. I cannot be spending two years playing against Kazakhstan and San Marino.
"And she was right. It was not the job for me seven years ago, it’s not the job for me now and I don’t think it will be the job for me in seven years’ time. Maybe in 15 years from now but not seven."
Mourinho also said of his wife: "The secret in everything is love. If you are successful in any job, I believe it is because you are in love with that job.
"And if you have a successful family it is because people are in love with each other. Love is the basic."
How many children do they have?
JOSE and Matilde have two children together from their near 30-year marriage.
Their daughter Matilde was born in 1996, whilst son Jose Mario Jr was born in 2000.
Jose was on the books at Fulham in 2017, but is currently a free agent.
In 2013 ex-Chelsea boss Mourinho got Tami’s and kids Matilde, 21, and 18-year-old Jose Jr’s name tattooed on his arm.
Who is Prue Carter-Robinson?
Unmarried Prue, 41, met Jose Mourinho when he was Real Madrid manager in 2010.
The former IBM worker attended Grey Coat Hospital, a top state school in Westminster, and currently lives in a £1.2m home in North London.
However, a pal says she has taken a break from work in recent months.
In numerous social media posts, Prue has been snapped enjoying extravagant holidays with the Special One.
On Saturday, December 22, Mourinho tried to a last minute legal challenge to prevent The Sun on Sunday from publishing the story.
Asked about Mourinho on the same day, Prue said: “I don’t know what you are talking about”, and then slammed the door.
Mourinho was also reported to have had an affair in 2001 with boutique owner Elsa Sousa, while manager of Portuguese side Uniao de Leiria.
She told a newspaper in 2007: “He told me he was separated from his wife because he was not happy. I was sure he was telling the truth.”
