Of course, everyone has their own opinions but I think it was worth the wait.
If you live in the United States (the only country who isn’t obsessed with Soccer), then you may not recognize the name Kaká. But to the rest of the world, Kaká is a household name. And it’s little wonder why: Kaká is a true natural, dominating the ball from the first moment he stepped onto the field at age 7 (he made it to the finals that first season). Despite the fame and money showered upon him from an early age, Kaká married his childhood sweetheart and waited until marriage to have sex.
I am a great example. The majority of people say that after marriage, they don’t like jumping into bed with their partner because there is no desire. However, this is not true, my wife is the person I love and it was worth waiting.

A lot of people were surprised and shocked with me but I think it’s the best decision. I am an evangelist and I believe in those values. I think people need to prevent themselves from making love before marriage.

Quotes from Kaka’s Wife, Caroline Celico
I found out that he was the love of my life when I got to know him on a daily basis. But I’m not gonna lie, when I saw him for the first time (I was 14, saw him at the airport and he was with his back to me.) I felt something completely different for him, and then I learned who he was. When he saw me for the first time. I asked him to sign an autograph to my friend and one to me. He wrote to my friend: “with love, from Kaka”, and to me he wrote: “Kisses, with love from Kaka”. He told me that he liked me ever since.
He is very disciplined, and sometimes it can be really annoying when he leaves way too early to avoid being late for something. He is way too nice, and sometimes I think he should be more polite and less friendly with people that misunderstand his affection.
What I admire most in him is gratitude to God. Kaka made me fall in love with God, and know that God made me discover the one and only true love for Kaka. We never were driven by passion or by fleeting moments, but by a deep love. Kaka is admirable; he is extremely disciplined and faithful to everything that is involved with.
