Roberto Carlos, the legendary Brazilian left-back renowned for his tenure at Real Madrid, is reportedly facing personal challenges following his separation from his wife of over 15 years, Mariana Luccon.
The couple, who share two daughters, Manuela and Marina, are said to be entangled in a complex divorce, with Carlos’ estimated £133 million fortune at stake.
Amid these reports, Roberto Carlos has temporarily taken up residence at Real Madrid’s training facility in Valdebebas.
This decision comes as Luccon remains in their primary Madrid residence, while her parents occupy another of Carlos’ properties in the city.
The Valdebebas complex, typically reserved for youth players offers amenities such as apartments overlooking training pitches, a swimming pool, and a gym.
Beyond his current personal circumstances, Carlos’ life has been marked by a large family; he has fathers 11 children with seven different women.
His relationships have included high-profile figures such as Brazilian model Jane Borges and Hungarian supermodel Alexandra Horvath.
Despite retiring from professional football in 2012, Carlos has remained active in the sport, participating in various capacities, including a brief stint in the Indian Super League and even appearing for a Sunday League team in Shrewsbury.
