AC Milan and Spain striker Alvaro Morata has explained the reasons behind his “painful” split from wife Alica Campello after seven years of marriage.
Despite supporting each other during a triumphant Euro 2024 campaign – which saw Morata lift the trophy as his country’s captain – and holidaying together at the end of that tournament in Germany, the couple have announced they have made the “painful decision” to separate.
Campello revealed that postpartum depression, following the birth of their fourth child, was partly to blame for the split. She also admitted that the regular uprooting of family life – Morata had spells at Real Madrid, Chelsea, Juventus and Atletico Madrid before joining Milan – was also difficult to cope with.
Morata denies everything
Morata claims that was the main reason for the split, as his career brings him back to Italy, with the 31-year-old also addressing the infidelity rumours that he and Campello have both been keen to quell. Morata told De Corazon: ”
I am devastated, but I swear I never cheated on her. She is the most important woman in my life. I am tired of people saying I was unfaithful to Alice and I didn’t even go to the national team party so that these kinds of rumors wouldn’t spread. Since then, I haven’t spoken to anyone out of respect for her and so that this kind of news wouldn’t spread.”
He added: “ Alice wanted to stay in Spain and did not want to move again. Despite different points of view, we still have an excellent relationship for the well-being of our four children. There will be no doubts.
Morata married the Italian model in 2017, having started their relationship during his first spell at Juventus in 2014-15. He has now returned to Serie A, but has seen his young family remain in Spain.
