Roma legend Francesco Totti has made a sensational revelation about his wife and says that he has been suffering from depression. The former Italy footballer is regarded as one of the best-ever players to grace the pitch in a national shirt. Totti hanged his boots in 2007 after a glittering career that spanned 24 years.
Earlier this year, the 2006 World Cup winner split with his wife Ilary Blasi following evidence of infidelity. In a recent interview with Corriere della Sera, Totti has claimed that his wife cheated on him following the death of his father. He also revealed that he suffers from depression.
Totti said, “I have lived through a difficult period, first because I stopped playing and then my father died due to Covid.” “I also had a strong Covid for 15 days. However, my wife, when I needed her most, was not there.”
The 45-year-old opened up on his wife’s extramarital status, saying, “It is not true that I was the first to betray. I said I was not going to speak and I did not, but I have read too many hoaxes in recent weeks. Some have even made my children suffer.”
“In September of last year the rumours began to reach me: ‘look, Ilary has another one. Indeed, more than one.’ I had never done it in twenty years, nor had she ever done it with me. But when I received warnings from different people, whom I trust, I began to suspect.”
“I looked at her cell phone and I saw that there was a third person, who acted as an intermediary between Ilary and another,” revealed Totti.
Totti said that seeing her wife cheat pushed him into depression. He said, “Here was the evidence (of the affair). The facts. And that led me to depression.”
“I could no longer pretend that nothing was happening, but it wasn’t me anymore, it was someone else. I got out thanks to Noemi (Bocchi, his new partner).”
Francesco Totti and his wife are looking into a court settlement after he revealed the evidence of her affair. His ex-wife Ilary on the other hand has alleged that her discovery could ruin 50 families.
