Iker Casillas Marries Sara Carbonero In Secret Wedding

 

Iker Casillas has secretly married his sports reporter girlfriend Sara Carbonero. The TV reporter and the former Real Madrid goalkeeper are currently expecting their second child and reportedly tied the knot on March 20.

The ceremony which was a simple civil affair using a legal representative took place in the Madrid suburban town of Boadilla del Monte.  There were also no guests with only two witnesses as required by law as well as their two-year-old son Martin. According to a report in Spain, the couple wanted to keep the news secret until the summer, when they thought to tell family and friends at a special party. The couple had started a relationship in 2010 and were at the centre of a media frenzy when the Spanish captain kissed his reporter girlfriend on the lips during a live interview after his team’s World Cup win. 

Casillas and his reporter wife apparently wanted the wedding to be a simple affair because they have already pledged their commitment to each other, but also wanted it officially registered.  There was also no time for a long honeymoon as right after the ceremony, the player travelled to Italy with the Spanish national team while Carbonero also had a commitment to appear in public for a promotional event. 

There was no indication that they were now married until it was leaked local media some days later. The couple are expecting their second child in June.
