Rekindled flame? Deco and Jaciara in happier
times
Deco may have been upset to lose his mentor
Luiz Felipe Scolari at
Chelsea. But at least his
missus is standing by the Portugal playmaker.
His estranged wife Jaciara Dias says she turned down a lucrative
offer to pose nude for Playboy after rebuilding bridges with
her former flame.
Deco admitted he was shocked by Scolari's sacking last week and
explained that he rejected other offers to hook up with his former
national team boss in west London. But he may be ready to at least
return to Dias's arms following a lengthy split dating back to last
March.
She said: 'Playboy
offered me a lot of money for me to pose naked. I would say that it
was a millionaire proposal. 'It was a good opportunity, but I
didn't accept because I do not want to spoil the good contact that
I have with Deco at the moment.
'I have the opportunity to grow in other ways, to show my value
as a model and actress.'

Chelsea in July
Deco brought new girlfriend Ana Paula to London after
signing from Barcelona in the summer, but he has not followed
through on plans to divorce Dias.
'I do not know if they are still together,' said Dias. 'What I
can guarantee is that we have a very good relationship, that all
those sorrows and the trauma of separation are left behind.
'At the beginning everything was very difficult and painful but
now... thank God.'
While things may be looking brighter for Deco, team-mate Frank
Lampard's seven-year relationship with Spanish ex-model Elen Rives
appears to be over.
