Alvaro Morata and Alice Campello have separated
One of the most beloved and talked-about love stories in the world of football has come to an end. This morning, Alvaro Morata and Alice Campello announced the end of their marriage, communicating their decision via their Instagram profiles, which was made by mutual agreement.
The news comes suddenly, especially since just a month ago, the image of Morata and Campello celebrating in the stands of the Olympiastadion in Berlin, on the occasion of the Spanish national team winning the European Championship (of which Alvaro was captain), circulated worldwide. Unfortunately, their love story has reached its conclusion.
Morata on the breakup with Campello: “A painful decision”
The announcement, in some respects sudden, came through the Instagram stories of Alvaro Morata. The footballer, a new signing for Milan, wrote:
After some time for reflection, Alice and I have decided to separate our paths. A wonderful relationship filled with mutual respect, where we loved and supported each other immensely. These have been wonderful years, the fruits of which are our four children, who are undoubtedly the best thing we’ve ever done. It’s a painful decision, so we ask for respect and empathy.
The striker also wanted to quell any rumors of infidelity or the presence of a third person in their relationship:
Don’t make up stories for a minute of fame because I repeat: there was no disrespect at any moment, just many continuous misunderstandings that gradually wear things down. Alice will always have a special place in my heart, and everything we’ve experienced together has been incredible and a great lesson.
A simple, decisive message, which does not lack gratitude to his now ex-wife Alice Campello.
Alice Campello on the breakup with Morata: “The hardest decision”
The influencer and digital entrepreneur Alice Campello also wanted to share her version of the events, confirming the end of her marriage to Morata:
Alvaro and I have decided to separate, and it is the most difficult decision we have made in our lives. I want to specify, as he did, that there have been no third parties or any lack of respect from either side. I can only say that in these 8 years I have had by my side a person who has done nothing but prioritize me, take care of me, and respect me, and that is why I cannot allow any false speculation. Everything that has been seen so far in the Instagram photos we have posted is the truth; at no point have we faked anything, and love does not go away overnight, but at this moment, we were not doing good for each other due to the continuous misunderstandings.
The message published in the stories continues:
We could not have loved each other more than we did, and it continues to be so, but a moment comes when many small, stupid, and poorly managed arguments accumulate and little by little things break and explode. We have always promised each other respect for everything we have lived through and to never reach the point of doing harm or being toxic and to end the relationship before reaching that point, and that is how it was. I want to thank Alvaro for everything he has done for me, for how he has taken care of me, for the father and husband he has been, and to always wish him the best.
Alvaro Morata and Alice Campello, the love story
The love story between Alvaro Morata and Alice Campello thus comes to an end after about eight years. The two reportedly met through Instagram, where the footballer invited her out. They then got engaged fairly quickly and soon after tied the knot.
Alvaro Morata and Alice Campello got married in 2017, when he was 25 and she was 22. In 2018, their first two children, twins Leonardo and Alessandro, were born. In 2020, their third child Edoardo arrived, while in 2023, the youngest of the family, Bella, was born.
The two have always been very close and much loved by the public, including in Italy, during Morata’s two seasons back at Juventus (from 2020 to 2022). The Spanish striker returned to Spain to play for Atletico Madrid before accepting the transfer to Milan. However, his first season as a Rossonero will happen without his now ex-wife by his side.
Why Alvaro Morata and Alice Campello separated
So why did Alvaro Morata and Alice Campello separate? Based on their version of events, the only one that can be relied upon, the couple had several arguments in recent years that deteriorated their relationship.
As a result of many small misunderstandings, their love story cooled until it reached a breaking point. Both have emphasized that there was no lack of respect, meaning no betrayal from either side.
It is not known, of course, whether one of the reasons for the arguments is Morata’s choice to move from Madrid (Atletico side, after playing for Real) to Milan (to wear the Milan jersey).
Only the two directly involved, of course, can know the deeper reasons for this breakup.
