Real Madrid and Spain legend Iker Casillas has deleted his tweet in which he claimed he was coming out as gay - and has since claimed he was hacked.
In a tweet published on Sunday afternoon, the ex-goalkeeper said: "I hope you respect me: I'm gay." Casillas was married to sports journalist Sara Carbonero for five years before their separation in March 2021, having had two children together, both boys.
But news soon emerged that Casillas' claim may have been a hoax amid reports that he's fed up of recent speculation surrounding his dating life in the Spanish press. Spanish outlet AS claimed Casillas' Twitter post is a response to rumours that he's in a possible relationship with Alejandra Onieva - the ex-sister-in-law of Spanish TV host Tamara Falco.
