Morata, 31, married Alice, 29, in her homeland of Italy back in 2017.

Just two week ago, the couple posted several loved-up snaps together of them on holiday.

And Alice came onto the pitch with their kids after the Euro 2024 final as the striker captained his country to victory, sealing the win with a kiss.

In a bombshell statement on Instagram, Morata said: “After a period of reflection, Alice and I have taken the decision to take separate paths.

“It was a marvellous relationship with mutual respect in which we have loved and helped each other so much.

“We have had some wonderful years and have our four children to show for it, which is without doubt the best thing we have ever done.

“It is a painful decision, after which we ask for respect and empathy.

“Please don’t invent any rumours, because I repeat – there have been no breaches of trust, just a lot of continuous misunderstandings that have little by little worn things down.

“Alice will always have a special place in my heart and the time that we have spent together has been incredible and a great learning experience.”

Meanwhile, Alice said on her social media page: “Alvaro and I have decided to separate, and it is the most difficult decision we have ever made in our lives.

“I want to make it clear, as he has, that there have been no third parties or any kind of disrespect from either of us.

“I can only say that in these eight years, I have had a person by my side who has done nothing but prioritise me, take care of me, and respect me, and for that reason, I cannot allow any kind of false speculation.

“I don’t want you to think that anything you have seen in the Instagram photos we’ve been posting is a lie.

“We couldn’t have loved each other more, and we continue to do so, but there comes a time when many misunderstandings accumulate, are poorly managed, and things gradually deteriorate and explode.

“We have always promised each other to respect everything we have lived through, to never reach the point of hurting each other or being toxic, and to end things before that happens, and that is what we’ve done.

“I just want to thank Alvaro for everything he has done for me, for how he has taken care of me, for being the father and husband he has been, and to wish him the best always.”

Morata has recently signed for AC Milan from Atletico Madrid.
