Alvaro Morata Separates from Alice Campello Again as Marriage Ends
Former Chelsea and Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has reportedly separated from his wife Alice Campello for a second time, bringing an end to their seven-year marriage after a failed reconciliation. The Spain international has moved out of the family home in Milan and is now living separately, according to reports in Italy and Spain.
The latest split comes just a year after the couple reunited following an initial separation in August 2024, a period that coincided with Morata captaining Spain to European Championship success. Despite hopes that the reunion would stabilize their relationship, the marriage has now broken down again.
Reports from Spanish magazine Hola indicate that Morata and Campello have been living apart for several weeks. The 33-year-old striker has left the residence he shared with Campello and their four children, twins Alessandro and Leonardo, Edoardo, and Bella, and has relocated to another property in an exclusive part of Milan.
The separation has been visible in recent days, with photographers capturing images of Morata waiting outside the family home to collect one of his children. While neither Morata nor Campello has issued an official statement, sources close to the couple suggest they remain on respectful terms and are focused on co-parenting.
The relationship had appeared to be back on track earlier this year after the pair reconciled in January. Campello previously described their first separation as the biggest mistake of their lives and credited Morata’s loan move to Galatasaray at the time as helping them reconnect. That optimism has now faded, with the second attempt at reconciliation failing to last.
Speculation surrounding the reasons for the split has circulated in Spanish media, prompting Campello to publicly deny rumors involving a third party. She firmly rejected claims linking Morata to sports management professional Elena Sirigu, stressing that Sirigu is a long-time family friend and had no role in the breakdown of the marriage.
Campello explained that the accusations had caused significant distress and said she felt compelled to speak out to protect Sirigu’s reputation. She emphasized that their relationship had always been transparent and professional, adding that the rumors were unfounded.
Away from his personal life, Morata is enduring a difficult spell on the pitch. After pushing for a move away from AC Milan, he joined Serie A newcomers Como, but his form has dipped sharply. The striker has failed to score in 15 appearances for the club, a stark contrast to the highs of lifting the Euro 2024 trophy as Spain captain.
The timing has compounded the pressure on a player who has been open about the mental challenges of elite football. Morata has previously spoken about the psychological impact of criticism and abuse, admitting in a recent documentary that he struggled deeply during past international tournaments.
As he navigates another major personal setback alongside a prolonged goal drought, Morata faces a pivotal period in his career. The coming months will be crucial, not only for his future at Como, but also for restoring stability off the pitch as he looks to rebuild in Milan.
