The former footballer stated this in an interview with Saudi Arabia's "Okaz" publication.
Roberto Carlos emphasized that he respects Islam. At the same time, he denied reports that he had become a Muslim.
"I respect Islam very much. Seeing my wife pray is very beautiful. But the rumors that I have converted to Islam are not true," the footballer said.
Carlos also explained that the wedding ceremony was held according to several religious traditions. Since his family is Catholic, a ceremony matching that religion was organized for them. For his spouse and her Muslim friends, a ceremony matching Islamic traditions was held.
It was precisely this situation at the wedding that caused the widespread rumors that Roberto Carlos had converted to Islam.
