Former Real Madrid player gave up football and married a multimillionaire 18 years his senior

Sergio Carrallo played for Real Madrid’s youth and reserve teams between 2012 and 2015.

The former footballer never made his debut for the Spanish giants’ first team, but over the next three years he played for Spain’s UB Conquense, Iceland’s Breidablik, and MB Mutiny and New York Cosmos in the United States.

According to Transfermarkt, he ended his career in 2019, but nevertheless became a multimillionaire.

He moved to the US, where he met Caroline Stanbury, a British TV star from a wealthy family who had been married to Turkish millionaire Cem Habib. Stanbury is 46, making her 18 years older than Carrallo.

We have been inseparable ever since we met. We are soulmates. However, my father wanted to give me all the money in the world to break up, while my mother cried when she found out about our relationship. After they met her, they loved her like their own daughter,” Carrallo said in an interview with ABC, writes Index.hr.

Caroline and Sergio’s romance began in 2020, after the 45-year-old made their relationship official on Instagram in July of that year.

By January 2021, Stanbury announced that they had become engaged during a winter trip to the Himalayas, and they tied the knot in November of the same year.

She has children Aaron, Zac and Yasmine with her ex-husband, Turkish financier Habib.

After 17 years of marriage, Caroline announced in December 2019 that the former couple were divorcing.
