The former Chelsea striker, 31, and Alice Campello, 29, separated in mid-August after seven years of marriage, time during which they had four children together. They have insisted they still love each other and have sought to dismiss any scurrilous rumours - or 'bulls***', the phrase Campello deployed - after Morata was accused of being in explicit photographs with another woman. But, via Marca, the duo had a 'fight' on the pitch after Spain had beaten England in the Euro 2024 final in Germany, and things went downhill rapidly from there. It is reported that Alice was keen for only herself, her children and her friends to be on the pitch to celebrate with Morata, and didn't want the Spain captain's parents or family present, leading to the slide of their relationship. Spain captain Alvaro Morata's divorce from his model wife, Alice Campello, was reportedly caused by an argument on the pitch after Euro 2024  The couple had been married for seven years but are now going through divorce proceedings  Reports have suggested that Alice hadn't wanted Morata's parents and family to join them on the pitch after the game Lawyers are said to be working on the divorce papers, with the separation mutually agreed. Morata recently signed for AC Milan in Italy after two years at Atletico Madrid, and recently revealed that he felt compelled to 'flee' his homeland. 'I am tired of people saying that I was unfaithful to Alice because I didn't even go to the national team party so that this type of rumour wouldn't arise, ' Morata told D Corazon on La 1 via AS of reports of potential reasons for their separation. 'Since then I haven't spoken to anyone out of respect for her and so that this type of news doesn't arise. 'I am devastated. I have fled Spain because I cannot bear the pressure and criticism any longer. ' On the show, Morata insisted that he and Campello have a 'very good relationship because of our four children' but that their break-up is irreversible. Just two weeks before their split the pair were spotted kissing on a beach during a family holiday in Sardinia. The pair have had four children together and have insisted that they still love each other Morata and Campello were looking loved-up on holiday in Sardinia two weeks before the split Due to the nature of the marriage, Morata is set to give half of his earnings to his now ex He revealed he has had to flee Spain in joining AC Milan and is keen to avoid court during the divorce proceedings Confirming their break-up, Morata wrote on Instagram: 'After some time of reflection, Alice and I have made the decision to part ways. A WONDERFUL and RESPECTFUL reciprocal relationship where we have loved and helped each other a lot. 'They have been wonderful years and the result of them is our four children, who are undoubtedly the best thing we have ever done. ' Their fourth child, Bella, was born last year. According to Alexis Rivas on Vamos a Ver, the couple married under a community property agreement, meaning earnings during the marriage must be divided evenly between the two. That's seemingly not an issue for Morata, however, who is reportedly not wanting to fight for anything extra and is willing to give up half of his earnings to Alice. It is reported that Morata has been struggling with the separation and doesn't want any issues in the divorce, not demanding any profits from Alice's business. Both parties are said to be keen to avoid court. Morata is said to have been struggling with the separation and wants to avoid any issues  Alice, meanwhile,  explained how post-natal depression has impacted both parties and their decision-making. Describing how they had mutually decided to end their marriage, Campello said via Marca: 'We are two young people, we have both been immature when it comes to managing certain situations, there are many children, moments of instability of being from one country to the other. 'My postpartum depressions have influenced and yours, too, which has not allowed us to manage certain situations between us.
