Former Chelsea and Real Madrid striker Álvaro Morata is reportedly facing another painful chapter in his personal life, as fresh reports suggest he has separated from his wife, Alice Campello, for the second time.
The latest development appears to bring a definitive end to their long-running efforts to repair a marriage that once seemed rock-solid.
According to Spanish outlet Hola, the 33-year-old forward has moved out of the family home in Milan and is now living alone in a luxury property elsewhere in the city.
The separation comes just a year after the couple reunited, following what was believed to be a heartfelt reconciliation after their first split in 2024.
Second chance ends in separation
Morata and Campello’s relationship has long been in the public eye, admired for its openness and the strong family image they projected.
Married for seven years, the couple share four children — twins Alessandro and Leonardo, alongside Edoardo and Bella — and had previously spoken candidly about the challenges of balancing elite football with family life.
Their first separation, announced in August 2024, shocked fans across Europe.
The timing made headlines, arriving shortly after Morata captained Spain to European Championship glory, one of the biggest achievements of his career.
At the time, both parties described the split as deeply emotional rather than hostile, with no public accusations or legal disputes.
Just months later, in January, hope returned. The pair reconciled, and Campello later revealed that Morata’s loan move to Galatasaray played a key role in repairing their bond.
She famously described the initial breakup as “the biggest mistake we’ve ever made in our lives,” suggesting the couple had learned from their separation and were committed to rebuilding their family.
However, that second chapter now appears to have quietly come to an end.
Living apart, but united for their children
Reports indicate that Morata and Campello have been living separately for several weeks.
Morata has left the family residence, while Campello remains there with their children. Despite the emotional weight of the situation, sources close to the couple insist that the separation has remained respectful, with both prioritising co-parenting.
Recent images published by photographers show Morata arriving at the family home and ringing the intercom before collecting one of his children — a moment that underlines the reality of their new arrangement.
While no official statements have been released by either party, their physical separation leaves little doubt that reconciliation efforts have stalled once again.
Rumours addressed and firmly denied
As often happens with high-profile breakups, rumours quickly followed. Spanish media reports suggested that a third party may have played a role, linking Morata to Elena Sirigu, a sports management professional.
The speculation gained traction online, forcing Campello to publicly intervene
Earlier this month, the 30-year-old influencer issued a firm and emotional denial via social media, defending Sirigu and dismissing the allegations outright.
“Elena is a family friend whom I’ve known for years, and I can say with absolute certainty that she is not that kind of person,” Campello wrote. “She has never done anything she’s been accused of.
Campello revealed that Sirigu had been deeply affected by the accusations, calling her in tears after being labelled a “family wrecker.”
In response, Campello said she felt compelled to speak out, not only to protect her friend’s reputation but also to highlight the harm such rumours can cause.
“I’m defending Elena because she’s innocent and because, as a woman, I know very well how much certain accusations can hurt,” she added, pointing to Sirigu’s academic work and long-standing connection with her beauty brand, Masqmai, as evidence of her integrity.
Career struggles deepen the turmoil
The personal upheaval comes at a particularly difficult moment in Morata’s professional life.
After pushing for an exit from AC Milan last summer, the striker secured a move to Como, hoping for a fresh start in Serie A.
So far, that gamble has failed to pay off. Morata has endured a frustrating spell, failing to score in 15 appearances for the club.
The goal drought is a stark contrast to the heights of captaining Spain to Euro success just two summers ago and has only intensified scrutiny around his performances.
Known for his openness about mental health and the psychological demands of elite football, Morata has previously admitted that confidence plays a huge role in his form.
The combination of on-field struggles and personal heartbreak paints the picture of a player navigating one of the most turbulent periods of his career.
For now, Morata and Campello remain silent publicly, choosing privacy over headlines. But with a second reconciliation now seemingly over, the focus has shifted to stability — particularly for their four children — as both move forward separately, yet connected by family.
