Footballer Alvaro Morata and his wife, Alice Campello, recently announced their divorce.
The couple, who had been married for seven years, confirmed their separation in August, just weeks after they were seen celebrating Spain’s Euro 2024 victory over England with their children on the field in Germany.
Morata, 31, took to Instagram to announce the split, stating, “After some time of reflection, Alice and I have made the decision to part ways. A wonderful and respectful reciprocal relationship where we have loved and helped each other a lot.”
Euro 2024 win becomes reason behind the split
According to a report from Marca, tension arose during the Euro 2024 celebrations when Campello reportedly wanted only herself, their children, and her friends on the pitch, leaving Morata’s parents and other family members on the sidelines. This incident is said to have contributed to the strain on their relationship.
Morata recently addressed the divorce in an interview with AS, relayed by the Daily Mail, where he discussed the toll the constant criticism and cheating allegations took on him. He mentioned that these pressures made him feel the need to leave Spain.
Despite the split, both Morata and Campello have publicly dismissed any notions of animosity between them.
They emphasized that they continue to maintain a positive relationship for the sake of their four children. The couple has reiterated their commitment to co-parenting and supporting each other in this new chapter of their lives.
