Real Madrid legend Roberto Carlos has firmly denied allegations that he is residing at the club’s training facility, Valdebebas, following his divorce from his wife of 15 years, Mariana Luccon.
Reports recently surfaced claiming the Brazilian football icon had temporarily moved to Valdebebas after separating from Luccon. Married in 2009, the couple shares two daughters, Manuela and Mariana. Allegedly, Luccon remained in the family home, while her parents occupied another of Carlos’ properties. Complicating the separation are legal disputes over Carlos’ substantial wealth, estimated at £133 million ($166 million).
Carlos took to X (formerly Twitter) to refute these claims, describing them as "false and damaging." He criticized the rumours as a baseless attempt to exploit his personal life for clicks.
“In recent days, I have become aware of false and damaging stories circulating about me and my family. While I value privacy, I feel compelled to address the baseless rumours about my living situation,” he wrote.
“These fabricated stories are entirely false and seem designed to generate clicks. I remain at a private residence, supported by members of my family. My legal team is reviewing these claims and will take appropriate action.”
Carlos concluded his statement by requesting privacy during this challenging time and expressing gratitude to his supporters for their continued encouragement.
This is not the first time Carlos’ private life has made headlines. A decade ago, the football legend revealed he has 11 children with seven different women, sparking significant media attention. Reflecting on his unique family dynamic, Carlos once remarked, “I have seven [children] in Brazil, one in Mexico, one in Hungary, and the others live in Brazil.”
Regarded as one of the greatest left-backs in football history, Roberto Carlos enjoyed an illustrious 11-year career at Real Madrid. He was instrumental in the club’s success, securing three Champions League titles and four La Liga crowns, cementing his place as a football icon.
As divorce proceedings unfold, Carlos remains focused on his legacy and family. He has expressed determination to prevent unfounded rumors from overshadowing his remarkable career and personal resilience.
Despite the challenges, the football legend continues to move forward, determined to protect his privacy and honor the achievements that have made him a global icon.
