Former Italian football player with AC Milan, Billy Costacurta, has been the subject of unpleasant rumours in Italy of late, which suggested that his wife, Martina Colombari, had been cheating on him.
The rumour was spread by Tgcom and if Colombari’s denials are to be believed it has created a storm in a tea cup (more a very large cup for those involved, we imagine).
Both on television and on a recent radio program, Martina Colombari has denied the rumours she cheated on Costacurta, saying:I haven’t betrayed my husband.
This news has kicked up a lot of dust and has upset my grandparents and great grandparents.
After seven years of being together, we had about seven or eight months in which we had a break from each other, and I had a relationship with someone else, and so did he.
At the time we weren’t even married and so he was not my husband.
It was a time of reflection.
Technically speaking then, Colombari is right, but she needs to be careful with certain statements left to the media (especially as a footballer’s wife) as it was she who had said in the first place: “I haven’t been cheated on, but I have cheated and been forgiven.
” Colombari is now the wife of Billy Costacurta and they have a son, Achille.
