It seems that even football legends face personal challenges.
Former Real Madrid star Roberto Carlos, who spent much of his career at the iconic club, is reportedly dealing with a significant shift in his personal life.
After over 15 years of marriage to his wife, Mariana Lucon, the couple has decided to go their separate ways.
Divorce and Living Arrangements
The divorce, as reported by Estadio Deportivo, appears to be far from straightforward.
With Carlos’ considerable wealth, estimated at around €160 million (£133 million), the settlement is expected to be complicated.
While Mariana is reportedly staying at their main family residence, Carlos’ in-laws are occupying his second property.
This has led the 51-year-old former Brazilian full-back to temporarily reside at the Real Madrid training ground in Valdebebas, where he’s been spending his nights while things are sorted out.
Real Madrid’s Iconic Full-Back
Carlos, who made a name for himself during his 11 years at Madrid between 1996 and 2007, won four La Liga titles and three Champions League trophies, cementing his place as one of the best full-backs in football history.
His legacy at Madrid is undeniable, having shared the pitch with legends like David Beckham, Ronaldo, and Luis Figo as part of the famous Galácticos era.
Now, he continues his connection with the club as an ambassador, focusing on his personal life and moving through this new chapter.
A Family Beyond the Spotlight
While Roberto Carlos’ football career has been widely admired, his personal life has occasionally drawn attention as well.
A decade ago, he made headlines when he revealed he has 11 children from seven different women.
His candid confession sparked a social media frenzy, where he mentioned his children living across various countries, including Brazil, Mexico, Hungary, and Spain.
His three children from his first marriage to Alexandra Pinheiro have been a part of his life for many years, but the larger family dynamic certainly adds complexity to his personal story as he navigates this current transition.
What lies ahead for Carlos is uncertain, but for now, his focus is on resolving his personal matters while continuing his legacy at one of the world’s biggest football clubs.
