Spain Captain Álvaro Morata to Give Half of Earnings to Ex-Wife After Divorce
Spain’s national football team captain, Álvaro Morata, is reportedly set to hand over half of his earnings during his marriage to his ex-wife, Alice Campello, following their divorce.
The 31-year-old former Chelsea striker and 29-year-old model Alice Campello announced their separation in mid-August after seven years of marriage and four children together.
The split reportedly stemmed from an argument that occurred on the pitch after Spain’s victory over England in the Euro 2024 final. Tensions escalated when Alice allegedly wanted to limit the post-match celebrations on the pitch to just herself, their children, and her friends, excluding Morata’s parents and family.
Despite the split, both Morata and Campello have maintained that they still love each other and have dismissed rumors of infidelity or other issues. Morata was accused of being in explicit photographs with another woman, but he has vehemently denied the allegations, stating that he avoided the national team party to prevent such rumors.
Speaking to D Corazon on La 1 via AS, Morata said, “I am tired of people saying that I was unfaithful to Alice because I didn’t even go to the national team party so that this type of rumor wouldn’t arise. Since then, I haven’t spoken to anyone out of respect for her and so that this type of news doesn’t arise. I am devastated. I have fled Spain because I cannot bear the pressure and criticism any longer.”
Morata, who recently signed with AC Milan after two years at Atletico Madrid, has revealed that he and Campello have a “very good relationship because of our four children” but confirmed that their break-up is irreversible.
According to reports, the couple married under a community property agreement, which requires that earnings made during the marriage be split evenly between them. Morata is reportedly willing to comply fully with this arrangement and is not seeking any additional assets or profits from Campello’s business.
Both parties are reportedly eager to avoid court and settle the divorce amicably.
