Roberto Carlos (left) and Mariana Lucon (right) tied the knot in June 2009, but are now reportedly set for divorce
According to the Spanish outlet, the divorce settlement is expected to be a complicated one due to Carlos’ eye-watering fortune, which is valued at around €160m (£133m).

Now, he has returned to Madrid, where he remains a club ambassador, while he gets his personal life in order.
Three of his children are from his relationship with his first wife, Alexandra Pinheiro.
Carlos – who also won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002 – raised eyebrows a decade ago when he revealed in an interview that he has 11 children by seven different women.
His admission went viral on social media as he stated: ‘Now I live with Manuela and I have several around. I have 7 in Brazil. I have one in Mexico, I have one in Hungary who lives in Alicante and the others live in Brazil.’
Carlos spent 11 years at Madrid between 1996 and 2007, and won four LaLiga titles and three Champions League trophies during this period.
