Roberto Carlos, the iconic Real Madrid and Brazil footballer, has dismissed reports suggesting he is living at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training ground following his separation from wife Mariana Lucon. The couple, married since 2009, share two daughters and are reportedly navigating a complex divorce involving Carlos’ estimated £133 million fortune.

Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo claimed Lucon remains in their primary residence while Carlos’ in-laws occupy his second property, leaving him temporarily based at the training facility. However, Carlos took to social media to refute these allegations, labeling them “false and damaging.”

In a statement on X, Carlos wrote: “In recent days, I’ve seen baseless rumors about my living situation. I remain at a private residence with my family’s support. My legal team is addressing these claims, and I request privacy during this time.”

Carlos, who spent 11 years at Real Madrid, winning four La Liga titles and three Champions League trophies, remains a club ambassador. Widely celebrated as one of the greatest full-backs in football history, he played alongside legends like David Beckham and Ronaldo during his time with the Spanish giants.

The 51-year-old’s personal life has often been a topic of discussion. In a previous interview, he revealed having 11 children with seven women, a revelation that sparked viral discussions online.

Carlos and Real Madrid declined to comment further on the matter.
