Ex-Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata breaks silence on marriage split from model wife Alice Campello – after attempt to rekindle relationship failed – and addresses cheating rumours

Alvaro Morata has lifted the lid on his separation from wife Alice Campello after the pair tried and failed to rekindle their marriage.

Morata, 33, split with his Italian influencer wife Alice Campello, 30, after Spain’s Euro 2024 victory.

In August that year, the pair announced they were going their separate ways seven years after tying the knot.

Morata and Campello rekindled their relationship last January but have since split again – with reports having circulated that they have been living apart in Milan.

And reflecting on his marriage, the Como striker, on loan from AC Milan, confirmed that their marriage is over – citing that they ‘don’t understand each other’.

‘We are suffering because we are two people who love each other, but we don’t understand each other ,’ he told Alexia Rivas, a contributor to the program Fiesta.

The couple had reconciled last year after announcing their separation back in August 2024

However, they have since split up again – with Morata breaking his silence about their situation

‘Alice isn’t having a worse time than me because many people say she’s the one who’s hurting. I want to make it clear that we’re both hurting, it’s not that she’s bitter, we’re both hurting.’

Last month, Spanish magazine Hola reported that Morata had moved out of the family home he shares with Campello and their four young children – Alessandro, Leonardo (twins), Edoardo, and Bella.

Despite living apart, the duo are said to have maintained a cordial relationship for their children.

In the midst of their break-up, Spanish reports claimed that Morata had an affair with Elena Sirigu, a sports management expert.

In relation to those accusations, Morata hit out at those rumours as untrue and that those fabricating them ‘have no heart’.

‘No special friend or anything like that, I’m not interested in that right now,’ he continued to Fiesta.

‘The day I have a special friend, I’ll walk around with her normally and you’ll see.

‘People who claim there are third parties involved in a separation like this, especially with children involved, simply have no heart.’

Morata said people accusing him of cheating on Campello ‘have no heart’ as he denied that

Morata’s words are aligned with Campello who previously denied suggestions that she had been cheated on.

‘Elena is a family friend whom I’ve known for years, and I can say with absolute certainty that she is not that kind of person and has never done anything she’s been accused of. I’m speaking out publicly because I’m deeply convinced of this,’ the Italian model and influence wrote on social media.

‘She called me crying because of everything that’s been said about her, and she doesn’t deserve to be labelled a “family wrecker”.

‘I’m defending Elena because she’s innocent and because, as a woman, I know very well how much certain accusations can hurt, damage, and leave deep scars on someone’s personal, professional, and family life.

‘She doesn’t deserve this exposure or to have her name associated with things she hasn’t done.

‘Our relationship has always been clear: she even dedicated her undergraduate thesis to Masqmai [Campello’s beauty brand], and she’s a serious person with values and a respectable family.’
