How Spain’s Euro 2024 win over England is ‘at centre of Alvaro Morata’s divorce from wife Alice’
SPAIN’S Euro 2024 final win over England is reportedly at the centre of Alvaro Morata’s divorce from wife Alice Campello.
The glamorous former couple, who met in 2016, announced last month that they are going their separate ways after tying the knot seven years ago.
Morata, 31, and Alice, 29, share four children — twins Alessandro and Leonardo, 6, Edoardo, 4, and Bella, 1.
And Marca claims an argument over family after the Euro final was the catalyst for their shock split.
It’s alleged that Alice only wanted herself, their four children and her friends to be on the pitch following Spain’s 2-1 win against England.
That meant Morata’s parents and other family members were not welcomed onto the field to celebrate at full-time, leading to a major deterioration in their relationship.
Meanwhile, the Mail also claims Morata was “accused of being in explicit photographs with another woman.”
But this was all apparently described as “bulls**t” by Alice, with her and Morata insisting they remain on the best of terms.
New AC Milan star Morata, who quit Atletico Madrid after the Euros, said: “I am tired of people saying that I was unfaithful to Alice because I didn’t even go to the national team party so that this type of rumour wouldn’t arise.
“Since then I haven’t spoken to anyone out of respect for her and so that this type of news doesn’t arise.
“I am devastated. I have fled Spain because I cannot bear the pressure and criticism any longer.
“[Alice and I] have a very good relationship because of our four children.”
Additionally, Vamos a Ver claims the couple’s earnings during the marriage will be divided equally between them as Morata and Alice had previously signed a community property agreement.
It’s reported that Morata has no issue with giving up half his salary from that time, and is not looking to take any profits from Alice’s business with both parties eager to avoid court.
Morata stunned fans with his shock divorce announcement last month.
He wrote on Instagram: “After a period of reflection, Alice and I have taken the decision to take separate paths.
“It was a marvellous relationship with mutual respect in which we have loved and helped each other so much.
“We have had some wonderful years and have our four children to show for it, which is without doubt the best thing we have ever done.
“It is a painful decision, after which we ask for respect and empathy.
“Please don’t invent any rumours, because I repeat – there have been no breaches of trust, just a lot of continuous misunderstandings that have little by little worn things down.
“Alice will always have a special place in my heart and the time that we have spent together has been incredible and a great learning experience.”
Alice added: “Alvaro and I have decided to separate, and it is the most difficult decision we have ever made in our lives.
“I want to make it clear, as he has, that there have been no third parties or any kind of disrespect from either of us.
“I can only say that in these eight years, I have had a person by my side who has done nothing but prioritise me, take care of me, and respect me, and for that reason, I cannot allow any kind of false speculation.
“I don’t want you to think that anything you have seen in the Instagram photos we’ve been posting is a lie.
“We couldn’t have loved each other more, and we continue to do so, but there comes a time when many misunderstandings accumulate, are poorly managed, and things gradually deteriorate and explode.
“We have always promised each other to respect everything we have lived through, to never reach the point of hurting each other or being toxic, and to end things before that happens, and that is what we’ve done.
“I just want to thank Alvaro for everything he has done for me, for how he has taken care of me, for being the father and husband he has been, and to wish him the best always.”
