Joana Sanz Confirms Separation From Dani Alves

Overview

• Joana Sanz publicly confirmed on Saturday that she and former footballer Dani Alves have been separated for some time and are in the process of divorce.
• Sanz told journalist Javi Hoyos and answered followers on social media that Alves’s growing dedication to evangelical religion and church activities changed his behavior and left her feeling alone.
• Reporting says the couple no longer share a home and that Alves has been traveling as an evangelical speaker and preacher on an international circuit.
• Sanz emphasized she will protect their daughter Julieta’s privacy and will not post the child’s image on social media without her consent.
• The split comes against a backdrop of Alves’s high‑profile legal history — an arrest in January 2023, a 2024 conviction later annulled by the Catalonia high court in March 2025 — which continues to shape public interest in the couple.
