Spain and AC Milan forward Alvaro Morata has announced that he has split from his wife of seven years, Alice Campello.
The AC Milan striker has separated from his wife, after seven years of marriage in which they had four children together. Campello was present when Morata captained Spain to Euro 2024 glory against England, but the pair have now decided to split.
Morata wrote on Instagram: “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.
“They have been wonderful years and the result of them is our four children, who are undoubtedly the best thing we have ever done.
“It is a painful decision so we ask for respect and empathy. Do not invent stories for a minute of prominence because I repeat: there has never been any lack of respect, only many continuous misunderstandings that little by little wear things down.
“Alice will always have a special place in my heart and everything we have experienced together has been incredible and a great learning.”
Campello, an Italian influencer, insists that there has been no kind of infidelity, nor any kind of mistrust between the pair, and has hit out at the fact she has been forced to announce the news to get ahead of potential reporting.
She said on Instagram: “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 8 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 and the decision to announce it ‘so soon’.
“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.”
Morata has joined Milan this summer from Atletico Madrid and will face Torino on August 17 to kick-off their Serie A season.
