When you’re someone like the Spanish soccer player Álvaro Morata and the influencer Alice Campello, you know that any public move you make will be scrutinized closely. This is exactly what happened when the couple removed mentions of their marital status from their social media profiles. The pair, who have always presented themselves as the perfect family, supporting each other through challenging times such as her recent childbirth, have now shocked many by confirming their separation via Morata’s social media.
The Spanish reporter Javier de Hoyos quickly noticed this and spoke of a possible crisis between the couple. Alice removing her husband’s surname from her profile was seen as a sign that something was amiss.
Moreover, the couple had also removed family photos previously highlighted on their Instagram account. These actions have led many to interpret it as one of the most surprising breakups of the summer, especially considering the support Morata showed her during the Euro Cup and the affectionate displays during the final when Spain won.

There were more signs suggesting a severe crisis in the relationship. Notably, during the footballer’s presentation in Milan, his wedding ring was noticeably absent. Additionally, Alice was not by his side, unlike in other significant career moments.
Alba Medina, a Spanish user on X who goes by StraCotilleo, highlighted the information she had received: “Álvaro Morata’s circle is suggesting he’s not doing well after the criticism he received during the Euro Cup, and this, combined with other factors, has created a crisis in the marriage. There are reports that Álvaro feels Alice hasn’t supported him enough. Álvaro has been dealing with psychological issues for years and feels Alice hasn’t been fully supportive privately. I find it interesting how Álvaro’s circle is speaking out while those close to Alice remain relatively silent, mentioning they are busy with the move,” she wrote.
She went further, hinting at potential infidelities: “Álvaro Morata seemed like a saint, but I’m getting so many things that I don’t even know how to process them. Poor Alice, but it’s better to keep these pests away.”
Many assumed this was the reason for the breakup, and criticism of the footballer continued on this social network.

Finally, Alice spoke out. In her latest Instagram post, a follower asked her if it was true that she had separated from Álvaro.
“I’m amazed at the number of lies being spread… Álvaro is the best person there is, and he has never disrespected me, and neither have I… if there’s one certainty I have in life, it’s the mutual respect we’ve had and still have!!!! Don’t believe ANYTHING that third parties say because they don’t know anything,” she responded.
She didn’t stop there: “And all this fuss about removing some photos… it’s amazing the stories people come up with and how they wish to believe that we’ve truly disrespected each other…”
She continued responding to other users: “There’s no way that removing a few photos from Instagram could lead to all these stories about a person who has given me everything in this life and more… THERE’S NO ONE WHO HAS RESPECTED ME MORE THAN HE HAS AND WHO CONTINUES TO DO SO!!!! And I feel the same way! It frustrates me so much that people speculate about this, especially with four children and knowing all that Álvaro has done for me… that’s why I can’t allow anyone to think he’s mistreated me and that’s why we removed some photos…”
A way to deny infidelity but without being definitive about their relationship status. She didn’t fully deny the breakup.
Morata confirmed it with a story on his Instagram: “After a period of reflection, Alice and I have decided to go our separate ways. It has been a wonderful relationship built on mutual respect where we have loved and supported each other immensely. These have been wonderful years and from them, we have our four children who, without a doubt, are the best thing we have ever done.”
He didn’t hesitate to address those discussing their situation: “It is a painful decision, so we ask for respect and empathy.”
He explained the reasons for the unexpected breakup: “Don’t invent stories for a moment of fame because, I repeat: there has never been any disrespect, only many continuous misunderstandings that gradually wear things down.”

“Alice will always hold a special place in my heart, and everything we’ve experienced together has been incredible and a great learning experience,” he concluded his message.
Now it’s not just rumors, but a reality.
