Isabelle Silva has made a name for herself in the world of football due to her fanatical support for her husband, Thiago Silva.

Belle, as she is fondly known, was one of the biggest talking points after Chelsea's 4-2 humiliating defeat on Sunday against Wolves.

The defeat saw the Chelsea wag take to social media to send a cryptic tweet calling for Mauricio Pochettino's sacking.

In the viral post shared on X, Belle openly called for change during Chelsea's defeat at Stamford Bridge.

While she did not indicate where the change was needed, many speculated she was making reference to Chelsea as added two blue heart emojis to her post.

Belle is not new to controversy

Belle's post sparked mixed reactions among her followers, with some agreeing that heads need to turn at Stamford Bridge.

However, some openly called her out for the sentiments, claiming that they painted the club in bad light.

Be that as it may, Belle is unlikely to be bothered, especially given that she is fond of having strong opinions in relation to Chelsea's performances.

Sportskeeda reports that Belle has on several occasions stirred the pot online with her controversial opinions, including one time when she openly criticised ex-Chelsea striker Timo Werner's inability to convert chances.

"This is karma, guys. Every team I go to there is a striker who keeps missing goals… this Werner, what is his name?"
"We need a goal, we need to win this match but my attackers don't want to score, I don't know why they don't score," she continued the rant in a subsequent video.

But who is Isabelle Silva?

Isabelle was born in March 1987 in Brazil and is originally from Rio Di Janeiro.

She has been with Thiago for years, having known each other since their childhood.

However, the couple made their union official in 2005 in a private wedding ceremony attended by family and friends.

The 36-year-old has two children with the veteran defender, namely Isago and Iago da Silva.

Professionally, Belle, who boasts more than 700 thousand followers on Instagram, has worked as a digital influencer.

Poch addresses Belle's tweet

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Mauricio Pochettino breaking his silence on Thiago Silva’s wife’s viral tweet.

While speaking ahead of Chelsea’s FA Cup fourth-round replay against Aston Villa, the former Tottenham boss said clear-the-air talks had been held with Silva regarding his wife but remained coy on the details of the conversation.
