Roma legend Francesco Totti has had a rough time since ending his career.
In June, he and his ex-wife Elari Blasey chose to separate after an affair and depression.
– It is not true that I was the first to be unfaithful, says Francesco Totti to Corriere della Sera.
Former Roma Profile Francesco Totti45, has spoken about how he experienced depression as well as the infidelity scandal after retiring from football in 2017.
Totti and Italian TV personality Ilari Blasi, 41, have been married since 2005 and have three children together.
But in June they separated.
That’s when, according to Totti, Hilary Blasey supported him not only after he retired from football, but also when his father died of Covid-19.
There were also rumors of infidelity, although opinions differed about who was unfaithful.
– It’s not true that I was the first to betray. I said I wasn’t going to talk openly about it, and I didn’t. But I’ve read a lot of lies in the past few weeks. Totti told Corriere della Sera that some made my children suffer.
– I went through a difficult period, first because I stopped playing and then my father died of Covid-19. Then I got depressed.

Covid-19 was something that affected the family, not least on Francesco Totti himself.
– I was also suffering from Covid for 15 days which affected me. But my wife, when I needed her most, was not there, as Totti told Corriere della Sera.
The separation of the two can make it to court. But Totti hopes it won’t get to that point.
– I still hope we can come to an agreement, says Totti.
In the meantime, Elari Blasey refuses to reveal much at this point, and her lawyer, Alessandro Simeone, says on her behalf: “I have always protected my children and will continue to protect them.”
Today Francesco Totti has a new partner, Noemi Bocchi, who is also a well-known media profile in Italy.
