      Inside football’s most ridiculous divorce as exes war over ‘affairs’, bald cat and ‘secrets that would ruin 50 families’

      by

      NORMALLY bags are chucked out the window when a couple break up, but legendary striker Francesco Totti has taken his TV star wife’s designer ones hostage.It is the latest bizarre act in the increasingly acrimonious divorce of Italy’s version of Posh and Becks.

      Glam Ilary is a model turned TV presenter
      They had been a golden couple, with Totti scoring 250 goals for Roma and winning the World Cup for his country, while his wife Ilary Blasi presented hit shows such as Italy’s version of I’m a Celebrity and Big Brother.
      Former model and actress Blasi, 41, and Totti, 46, are so famous that their wedding was broadcast live on television.  
      But cracks in their 17-year marriage started to show during lockdown.
      Totti admitted he nearly left his wife when she bought a hairless cat and when restrictions were lifted rumours of affairs started to circulate.

      He was said to be seeing a much younger florist, while she was reported to have fallen for a tattooed man.
      Having decided to go their separate ways in July, Blasi decided to take Totti’s beloved Rolex watches and he supposedly responded by holding on to her designer shoes and handbags.
      He told Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera: “What could I do? I hid her handbags, hoping we could trade.”
      The glamorous bags in his custody are said to include Gucci, Dior, Chanel and Hermès plus shoes which are worth up to £3,500.

      Press reports say Blasi has asked a judge to order Totti to return her collection.
      Naked ambition?
      Blasi caused a stir in 2006 when she flashed a nipple during the Sanremo Song Fest and five years ago by snogging her Big Brother co-presenter Belen Rodriguez.
      She also posed topless in her early career and worked as a catwalk model.
      Totti was dubbed the Roman God due to his good looks and he once boasted: “I was 12 when I made ​​love for the first time. In Tropea, with a Roman girl who was 17 years old.”
      I was 12 when I made ​​love for the first timeFrancesco Totti
      He has been the butt of jokes about his lack of intelligence after a journalist suggested the player “carpe diem?” and Totti replied: “Sorry, my English isn’t very good.”
      Carpe diem is a well known Latin phrase which means seize the day.
      Eventually, he saw the funny side and agreed to publish a book called All the Totti Jokes, Collected by Me, which sold 150,000 copies in just two weeks.
      Two years ago a documentary was made about the striker called My Name Is Francesco Totti, which presented him as a largely untroubled athlete and lauded him for never leaving top Italian side Roma.
      Covid breakdown
      His loyalty to Blasi also appeared to be concrete, having spent 20 years together.
      They tied the knot in June 2005 in an ancient church in Rome with a satellite channel reporting on the event live.
      Blasi was pregnant with their first child, 17-year-old Cristian, at the time and they now also have two daughters Chanel, 15, and Isabel, six.
      However, Covid restrictions undermined the family unit – first due to a feline interloper.
      In 2020 he revealed: “I was furious with my wife, she bought a hairless cat and called it Donna Paola.
      “It’s boiling. At night, it insists on sleeping inside our bed, next to our legs. She’s a very affectionate cat, but almost caused us to break up.
      I was furious with my wife, she bought a hairless cat Francesco Totti
      “Ilary wanted a cat at all costs and I was adamant we shouldn’t. One day, she brought it home, because ultimately she makes all the decisions in this family.
      “We didn’t speak for days, but in the end, I fell in love with the cat too.”
      Then his dad Ezno died from the virus at the age of 76 in October 2020 and Totti spiralled into depression.
      He told a newspaper:  “I have lived through a difficult period, first because I stopped playing and then my father died due to Covid.
      “I also had strong Covid for 15 days. However, my wife, when I needed her most, was not there.”
      Rumours of affairs
      Totti claims that friends informed him that his wife was seeing another man, so he decided to scour her phone for evidence.
      He said: “When I received warnings from different people, whom I trust, I began to suspect.
      “I looked at her cell phone and I saw that there was a third person, who acted as an intermediary between Ilary and another.
      “Here was the evidence. And that led me to depression.”
      He is now dating florist Noemi Bocchi, 34.
      Ilary dated other men before my story with Noemi was bornFrancesco Totti
      But he insists they only began to see each other romantically once his relationship with Blasi was over.
      Totti alleged: “We used to hang out as friends. Ilary dated other men before my story with Noemi was born.” 
      So far Blasi has not spoken publicly about the cheating rumours 
      But she has said: “I’ve discovered things that would ruin 50 families.”
      The couple are expected to agree to share custody of their children.

      Whether they can come to an agreement about their bling is another matter.
      One insider said:  “All she has to do is return the watches and this is over.”

      He said: “I look at [post-match stats] a lot and I enjoy it.

      Insigne was one of the outstanding performers for Roberto Mancini’s side as they lifted the European Championship at England’s expense.
      We know all about the Italian winger, but who is key to his success behind the scenes?
      Who is Genoveffa Darone and how old is she?
      Genoveffa, often referred to as Jenny as her Instagram suggests, was born on September 24, 1992 to her Italian parents in Frattamaggior.
      She is currently 29-years-old, two years younger than her husband Lorenzo.
      At a young age she is said to have helped her family financially as she took a job working as a saleswoman in a haircare shop but now she is tasked with the responsibility of looking after her family.

      When did they get married?
      Meeting her now-husband during a loan spell at Pescara, they began dating.
      The couple dated for just seven months before getting married but there was something unique about their wedding day.
      Tying the knot on December 31, 2012 – the pair opted for a New Years wedding. It remains unclear why they chose this date but there is speculation that it could be due to Lorenzo’s work schedule in Italy.
      They have been married for over 10 years now, with Genoveffa seeing her husband become a Napoli icon in this time before supporting him in his move to Toronto FC this summer.

      The pair welcomed their first son on April 4, 2013 and named him Carmine.
      Two years later they added another son, Christian, to their family while Insigne remained at Napoli.
      Sadly, Genoveffa suffered a miscarriage in October 2022 and Lorenzo announced this to the press in the MLS.

      He said: “It’s well known that I have had to deal with personal problems in the last few weeks, but perhaps not everyone knows the reasons. So let me make it clear, my wife and I have lost a daughter, who will remain in our hearts forever.
      “But we had a big family problem. I find it hard to explain why I don’t feel like it. But we had a big loss together with my wife and it was not easy. We are trying to move forward together as we always have. 
      “We have two other beautiful children, they allow us to be carefree, but our thoughts are always with us. It’s always in our thoughts what happened to us.”

      Does Genoveffa Darone attend Lorenzo Insigne’s matches?
      Genoveffa often attends Lorenzo’s matches, most notably during Euro 2020.
      She was spotted in the crowd every step of the way as Insigne and Italy lifted the trophy, watching her husband’s matches over Europe.

      When asked how often she had romped with her husband-of-three-years in the last month, the stunning brunette replied: “We do it every day, except for the days when I am in Madrid.
      “Today for instance, thanks to you, I can’t.”
      Told by the shocked host of chat show La Resistencia they were like Avengers superheroes having sex so often with four youngsters in the house, she added: “My children are in bed at 9.30pm. Sex is life.”
      She insisted the fact they had four kids had no impact on their sex life.

      Rubio tried to turn the tables by asking host David Broncano about how often he did it – but was told he had no children so there was no comparison.
      In her tell-all interview, Rubio – who has commuted between Paris and Madrid since Ramos joined PSG last year – also claimed she had just £46,000 in the bank.

      Rubio, who has more than eight million Instagram followers and a net worth estimated at nearly £10m, said: “I’m always a bit confused because of working in Spain and living in France but in the bank there’s €52,000 (£46,000).”
      Seeing the admission was causing as much shock as her confession about sex with Sergio Ramos, she added: “I’m talking about the current account which is the one I saw.”

      The World Cup-winning former goalkeeper appeared to come out, tweeting: “I hope you respect me: I’m gay.”
      He told fans via his Twitter account but did not put the same message on his Instagram or Facebook pages.
      He did not further address the comment and then deleted it – not before it had over 250,000 likes.
      He then tweeted: “Hacked account. Luckily everything in order. Apologies to all my followers. And of course, more apologies to the LGBT community.”

      Reports in Spain suggested it may have been posted in response to rife magazine rumours about his post-divorce dating life.
      It comes a little over a year after he split from his wife.
      The retired goalie and presenter and model Sara Carbonero admitted their love had “taken separate paths” back in March 2021 but said they would remain close to continue the “marvellous job” of raising their two children.
      Following the tweet, Casillas was sent thousands of messages of support while former Spain team-mate Carles Puyol replied: “It’s time to tell our story, Iker.” along with a heart and kiss emoji.
      Most read in Football
      The post comes just days after he furiously shut down rumours linking him romantically with Shakira – who herself recently split from footballer partner Gerard Pique.
      Casillas and his former wife famously kissed on air during a post-match interview after Spain won the World Cup and have helped each other through serious health scares during their five-year marriage.
      Former Spanish international Casillas, who had to quit football after a heart attack, said in an emotional Instagram post at the time: “Both Sara and I feel enormously proud of the family we are and of having shared a love that has filled us with happiness during all our years together.
      “Today our love as a couple takes different but not distant paths since we’ll continue together in the marvellous task of continuing to be devoted parents as we have been up until now.
      “This is a well-considered decision which we have taken through mutual agreement.”
      The 41-year-old, father to Martin, nine, and Lucas, six, with Sara, added: “The respect, affection and friendship will remain for ever.
      “Our priority is, through affection and compromise, to share the wellbeing and education of our children and protect them so they grow in a stable and healthy environment.

      “With these words we ask you please to respect our privacy in this moment of change.
      “These will be the only public words we issue for the time being and in the future.
      “Many thanks for your understanding.”
      The identically-worded statements were posted alongside a photo of the couple in happier times, showing Sara with her arm round Iker’s neck as he touched her hand.
      Casillas came through the academy at Real Madrid and spent 25 years with the club, making 725 first-team appearances.
      He won five LaLiga crowns and three Champions League, captaining the side before leaving in 2015 to join Porto – where he spent the final four seasons of his career.
