Speculation swirled in the Spanish media, with numerous reports suggesting that Morata had been unfaithful to Campello, the mother of their four children, per Tribuna.
The couple's relationship, which began during Morata’s first stint with Juventus between 2014 and 2016, had seemed rock-solid. They tied the knot in 2017, and their family life appeared idyllic.
Morata dismisses infidelity allegations
The 31-year-old, who recently marked his return to Serie A by scoring for AC Milan in a draw against Torino, has vehemently denied any allegations of infidelity.
In an interview with TVE, quoted by Sport, the former Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid striker set the record straight.
"It's completely false. I was never unfaithful to her; she is the most important woman in my life," he declared, emphasising the depth of his feelings and respect for Alice.
Despite their split, Morata was candid about the state of their relationship, explaining that their decision to part ways was mutual and made with their children’s well-being in mind.
"The relationship is over, but we maintain a strong bond for the sake of our four children," Morata said, making it clear that their separation was final but amicable.
Morata hints at the reason for divorcing his wife
Morata also hinted at the underlying reason for their breakup, suggesting that his decision to return to Italy might have been a pivotal factor.
"Alice wanted to stay in Spain and didn’t want another move," he revealed, acknowledging that his transfer to AC Milan this summer played a role in the dissolution of their marriage.
Morata once slept in a hotel after his wife locked him out
In an earlier report, Legit.ng revealed that Alvaro Morata once found himself spending the night outside his home after his wife accidentally locked him out.
By the time Morata returned, his wife, mother of their four children, was fast asleep, leading him to spend the night at a nearby hotel.
The Spain international striker shared the amusing incident on his social media.
