World Cup-winning goalkeeper Iker Casillas has secretly married his girlfriend, sports reporter Sara Carbonero, in a simple civil ceremony in Boadilla del Monte, a suburb of Madrid. The couple, who are expecting their second child in June, tied the knot on March 20 with only two witnesses present, as required by Spanish law.
The wedding was kept under wraps until details emerged in the Spanish edition of Hello! magazine. The couple reportedly planned to announce the news to family and friends at a summer party. Casillas, 34, now plays for Porto, while Carbonero is a presenter for Telecinco. The pair began dating in 2010 and became a media sensation when Casillas kissed Carbonero live on air after Spain's 2010 World Cup win.
No honeymoon was possible, as Casillas immediately joined the Spanish national team for a match in Italy, while Carbonero attended a promotional event. Casillas recently equalled the record for most international caps by a European player, with 166 appearances for Spain, and has not conceded a goal in 710 minutes for his country.
