For some reason, it is common the sentimental union of successful athletes with celebrities, whether they succeed in music, film or television, or as presenters or models. This probably has to do with the public pressure that being at the forefront of their careers implies for both of them. Having this in common, they understand each other and are able to be patient when necessary. Let’s see below the list of soccer players who married women who were already part of the artistic scene when they met them.

Álvaro Morata and Alice Campello

Alvaro had broken up with his ex some time before meeting the famous model. He instantly fell in love with her and decided to write to her through social networks.
