Matilde and José share two children: a daughter named Matilde, born in 1996, and a son, José Mário Mourinho Jr., born in 2000. Their daughter, often referred to as “Tita” by family and friends, is a budding fashion model, while their son is pursuing a football career, playing for Fulham’s youth team.

Matilde, who is known to her close circle as “Tami,” has supported Mourinho through various highs and lows, including controversies and challenging moments in his career.

Despite rumors of infidelity, particularly in 2007 and 2010, Matilde and José have remained together, often appearing in public as a united front. Though not without difficulties, their marriage has lasted over three decades, and both continue to maintain a close family bond.

She has been involved with the World Food Programme (WFP), where Mourinho is a global ambassador. Matilde has joined him on many of his international trips related to hunger relief and other humanitarian efforts.

While she does not pursue a public career in the traditional sense, her work in charity, mainly focusing on hunger eradication and community welfare, has significantly impacted many underprivileged areas worldwide.

Net Worth

Matilde Faria’s estimated net worth is around $1 million. Though her wealth does not compare to her husband’s substantial fortune, her earnings primarily come from her work in charity and humanitarian initiatives.

Controversy

Matilde Faria and her husband José Mourinho have faced several controversies over the years, mainly related to alleged extramarital affairs on Mourinho’s part.

In 2007, The Sun reported on Mourinho‘s supposed affair with a woman named Elsa Sousa, who claimed they had been romantically involved while Mourinho was coaching in Portugal.

In her allegations, she mentioned intimate details about their relationship, which Mourinho and Matilde later dismissed as false. Another scandal emerged in 2010 when a Kenyan woman, Lelesit Silvana, accused Mourinho of having an affair with her during his visits to Kenya.

Silvana even claimed that Mourinho had promised to divorce his wife and marry her. Once again, the couple denied these claims and refrained from providing further details on the matter. Despite these accusations, Matilde remained by her husband’s side, publicly supporting him through these allegations.

Their marriage continued without formal legal action or separation following these rumors. In a testament to their strong bond, Mourinho reportedly made multiple trips to be by Matilde’s side during her emergency surgery in Lisbon in 2016, an event that garnered media attention.
