ALVARO MORATA’s turbulent romance with Alice Campello ended after seven years together.
The former Chelsea striker revealed they have made the “painful decision” to split, saying they still have great respect for each other.
The couple married in 2018 – just eight months after connecting on social media.
Alice revealed to The Sun that she initially rejected Morata’s approaches, but was quickly won over by his gestures.
This included the striker driving eight hours to meet her family before returning to Turin as she had to train with Juventus.
A few months later, Morata was playing for Real Madrid and popped the question during a magic show.
Alice has stayed by his side ever since, following him to Chelsea before returning to Madrid and Juventus.
She was also photographed alongside the 31-year-old after he won the Euros with Spain in Berlin in July.
But she will not be with Morata as he embarks on a new chapter with AC Milan following his £11million move from Atletico Madrid.
The two ended their marriage six years after tying the knot at a glitzy party in Venice, where Alice is from.
Alice is a model who has worked with Dior and Chanel, while also launching her own handbag brand called Avril Gau.
She has four children with Morata – twins Alessandro and Leonardo, six, as well as Edoardo, three, and Bella, one.
Alice suffered complications during her pregnancy and ended up in the ICU after giving birth.
Before the birth, Alice decided to play a prank on Morata by pretending her water broke.
After winning the Euro, Morata and Alice spent a “beautiful night” with David and Victoria Beckham.
The pair seemed very close, just like after the final, when Morata ran into the stands to kiss his wife.
But just a few weeks later they confirmed their split, with Morata saying: “After a period of reflection, Alice and I have made the decision to go our separate ways.
“”It was a wonderful relationship, with mutual respect, in which we loved each other and helped each other a lot.
“We’ve had a wonderful few years and we have our four children to show for it, which is without a doubt the best thing we’ve ever done.
“It is a painful decision, after which we ask for respect and empathy.
“Please do not invent rumors, because I repeat: there were no breaches of trust, just many continuous misunderstandings that, little by little, eroded things.
“Alice will always have a special place in my heart and the time we spent together was incredible and a great learning experience.”
