Beckham, Cristiano, Casillas... Where are football's stars today?
Back in their day they were football stars, filling the gossip magazines and sharing their lives with celebrities, but... do you know what has become of them?
In the 60s they were the rock stars. In the 80s, the movie stars. And in the 21st century, it is sports stars who frequently fill the gossip press. You can check this on our website, where we publish all kinds of news about great idols such as David Beckham or Cristiano Ronaldo. Many of them, moreover, share their lives with other celebrities from the world of entertainment.
Well, many of these stars are now facing the most decisive moment of the year. The Champions League, the most coveted European tournament, is back, and with it comes the spectacle, the excitement and sports betting, as you can see in this link.
Today we are going to explain how the main stars of football and gossip are facing the coming months, and tell you how some classics of the pink press who once played football are doing.
Cristiano Ronaldo, back in Manchester
The Portuguese champion has returned to Manchester, where he plays for United, and these days he has come back to Madrid to play the round-of-16 tie against Atlético de Madrid. Hundreds of fans, both men and women, turned out to greet his bus on arrival at the hotel, although the welcome was not as warm on the pitch. No worries. Ronaldo has the warmth of his family: he shares his life with Georgina Rodríguez, now the star of her own reality show on Netflix, and his four children. As if that were not enough, two more are on the way!
Lionel Messi now shines in Paris
Like Cristiano Ronaldo, the Argentine footballer wants to win the Champions League again, a title he has not won since 2015. To do so he will have to overcome his historic rival, whom he has beaten so many times while captaining FC Barcelona. Real Madrid is the opponent of his new club, Paris Saint-Germain, which Messi joined this summer after failing to renew with Barcelona. It is said that at first he found it hard to adapt to the French capital. For the first few months he lived in a fantastic hotel next to the Champs-Élysées, a dream for anyone. But Messi and Antonella Roccuzzo, who form one of the most solid couples in the world of football, have already found a home for themselves and their three children in Neuilly-sur-Seine, very close to where their friends and teammates Di María and Paredes live.
Iker Casillas, golden bachelor
The separation from journalist Sara Carbonero has put our most decorated goalkeeper back on the market. Curiously, not long ago, some risqué audio recordings with another woman, the Córdoba-born artist Sara Denez, were revealed in a court case, dating from when Iker was still with Carbonero.
David Beckham, happy in Miami
The great star of the early 2000s retired from professional football in 2013 and moved to the United States. He owns Inter Miami, still turns everything he touches into gold, and already has heirs: recently his son Cruz recreated, for i-D magazine, the iconic cover his father starred in back in 2000. And David and Victoria Beckham’s children are no longer little kids: Brooklyn is 22, Romeo 19, Cruz 17 and Harper, the youngest, 10. Even for the stars of the ball, the years go by!
