Former Chelsea and Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata has seen his importance at club level reduced over the last 18 months. He is currently out on loan at Serie A side Como from AC Milan, whom he joined after winning the 2024 UEFA European Championship.
Now, the Spaniard has opened up on the infidelity rumors surrounding his personal life.
Ex-Chelsea and Real Madrid Ace Lifts Lid on Separation
In August 2024, Morata and his Italian model ex-wife Alice Campello announced they were ending their seven-year marriage. The former Juventus and Atletico Madrid man rekindled his relationship with Campello last January before splitting up again.
During a recent chat on the television show Fiesta, the 87-cap Spain international was asked to share his feelings about his separation from his former partner.
“We are suffering because we are two people who love each other, but we don’t understand each other. Alice isn’t having a worse time than me because many people say she’s the one who’s hurting. I want to make it clear that we’re both hurting now. It’s not that she’s bitter, we’re both hurting,” the 33-year-old striker responded.
Amid the attacker’s trying times involving Campello, Spanish reports suggested that Morata had an extra-marital affair with Elena Sirigu, a sports management expert.
When asked to shed light on the rumors, Morata replied, “No special friend or anything like that, I’m not interested in it right now. The day I have a special friend, I’ll walk around with her normally and you’ll see. People who say there are third parties involved in a separation like this, especially with children involved, simply have no heart.”
Morata and Campello have four kids, namely Alessandro, Leonardo, Edoardo, and Bella.

During a recent interview with ESPN Argentina, Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez said he is delighted to be representing the Blues amid links to Real Madrid.
“I’m very grateful for the three years I’ve spent here. We have gone from bad to better, and being here today makes me very happy. I want to win titles at the club because that’s what this club demands. I feel very connected to the club, and I feel very good, so I hope to win many titles here,” the Argentine star commented.
Fernandez, 25, has won two trophies and contributed 27 goals and as many assists in 152 overall outings for Chelsea since leaving Benfica in a $146 million deal in January 2023.
