Joana Sanz is living one of the hardest years of her life. The Canarian model has gone from having a dream life to losing two of her fundamental life pillars: her mother and her husband. Her mother died at the beginning of 2023 after suffering a long illness and, after a week, Dani Alves, her husband, was arrested for allegedly raping a 23-year-old girl in Sutton, a renowned nightclub. Barcelona. Since then, the footballer has been in prison. Now, after some of the most complicated months on an emotional level, the model has taken the step of getting a very personal tattoo in honor of her mother.
Nine months have passed since Joana lost her mother, one of the fundamental pillars of her life. Today, her husband of six years, Dani Alves, is still in prison trying to prove his innocence, although there is endless evidence against him and he finally acknowledged that he had had sexual relations with the alleged victim, but always "with consent". Although Sanz announced his breakup with the footballer, there are many messages of support that he has sent her after this, and it is unknown what her current emotional situation is. Despite everything, she is willing to move forward with her life.
Being in the media spotlight for the 'Alves case' has not been easy for the Canarian, but if there has been something that has kept her immersed in sadness, it has been the loss of her mother. The one from Tenerife was very close to her mother and, although she had been battling a very aggressive cancer for a long time, her death caused the young woman great emotional discomfort. She has shown this repeatedly on social networks in recent months. This Saturday, the model reappeared on her Instagram profile to show the latest tattoo she got... and nothing more and nothing less than in honor of her mother.
It is a beautiful rose outlined in black ink. "Mom," she writes next to the image. In addition, she took the opportunity to thank her tattoo artist for the work done. "Thank you for the time dedicated to something so important to me. Thank you for making it personalized and with so much art, because what you do is art," said Joana, dedicating some very emotional words to her more than 963,000 followers on Instagram.
As we said, there have been many displays of affection that Joana has dedicated in public to her mother. One of her most emotional came on the day that marked seven months since her departure. Sanz shared an emotional photo through her Instagram stories in which she wrote a hard reflection. "7 months without you. Accept that we are not going to travel anymore, that I am not going to come home by surprise and you are going to hug me, that I no longer have you to share my successes or be able to call you when I feel so alone. How empty the life without you," the mannequin said then.
Although the last few months have been the hardest of her life, the content creator has proven to be a strong woman and has taken refuge in her people and her work to move forward and continue her path. Joana is clear that only the warmth of her family and her work will be able to help her overcome all the bumps... and that is why she has decided to return to her daily life little by little.
