Iker Casillas is suspected to be nervous about the rumors circulating about him. PDO
For a while it seemed that Iker Casillas would have come out of the closet.
– I hope I will be respected: I am gay, he wrote on Twitter.
Casillas’ announcement was a surprise to at least some Spaniards, as he has been romantically linked to several female celebrities in recent weeks.
The goalkeeper’s greatness is also well remembered for the fact that, as the captain of the national team that won the world championship, he was captured doing a television interview Sara Carbonero into his arms and kissed him.
The couple later married and had two children: Martin 2014 and Lucas 2016.
When they separated in the spring of 2021, the couple promised to stay close and raise their sons together.
Sunday’s Twitter announcement went through as it is in many corners of the world, but not in Spain. There, the big sports newspapers Marca and As analyzed it as part of Casillas’ media game.
Something can also be concluded from the fact that the hard-nosed topper of the World Cup team Carles Puyol responded to the tweet with a heart and kiss emoji.
– It’s time to tell our story, Iker, Puyol formulated.
Casillas had to end his playing career because he had a heart attack in the spring of 2019.
Casillas later on Sunday deleted his gay tweet.
Even at 5 p.m. Finnish time, the public did not know for sure whether the tweet’s message was real or, for example, a bad joke.
