After five years together, the Asturian pilot Fernando Alonso and the Italian model Linda Morselli have broken their relationship.
Neither of them has publicly confirmed the news, advanced by the magazine
Semana
, but it has been the social networks that make it clear that they have gone their separate ways.
Morselli and Alonso began to appear together in public in the summer of 2016, shortly after he ended his relationship of almost two years with the presenter Lara Álvarez, and when the Italian had also cut with his partner, the Italian pilot Valentino Rossi motorcycling
Since then, it was common to see them together on circuits, on private trips or at social and sporting events.
But for several months they have not shared those moments and he has not seen them together in any activity.
In August in Budapest, Hungary, the couple was seen together on the circuits;
in mid-September in Monza, Italy, Morselli was also on the tracks, and there she was photographed with some members of the team, but no longer with Alonso.

Since then, Morselli has published images of him traveling, playing sports or on spectacular beaches on his social networks, but with no clues of being with anyone else.
However, on February 14, she posted a video of herself on her Instagram profile, with 230,000 followers, in which she appears on a beach, from afar and in some darkness, dancing with a man and hugging him.
She doesn't tag him (and, in fact, she has disabled the option to write a comment on that photo) or name him, she just writes: “Finding my rhythm.
Happy Valentines".

Although she does not name him, he has done so with her.
The model's companion is an Argentine actor and model named Benjamín Alfonso, known for his performances in various soap operas in the country.
He has posted photos on his social networks in which he is seen with Morselli.
The clearest are a series of images, also from February 14, in which he wrote "Valentine's Day is every day... Hug", next to an icon of a heart.
In the six photographs, Alfonso and Morselli appear together, embracing or kissing on the beach, in the countryside or with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
She answers him in a comment, in Spanish, where next to the same icon that she uses, he writes "The authentic kilombo", thus using a term widely used in Argentina.
Morselli became a relatively popular face in Spain due to his relationship with Fernando Alonso.
A popularity that opened the doors to some jobs as a model in this country, or at least to make these more public and recognized, since she always stated that she had had "many job opportunities in Europe, in Italy and also in Germany and Spain".
During one of those visits to Spain, she Morselli stated that her plans included getting married and having children.
“Currently I am focused on my projects, it is not something to do now,” she said at the end of 2017. “I am very happy with Fernando.
Surely in my future I see myself with children.
I need to know what the right time is.”
Morselli and Alonso came to launch a clothing line together in 2019, something that the pilot, little given to talking about his sentimental situation, described as "very nice".
"The beautiful thing, in addition to sharing the day to day with her, is also sharing these moments," the pilot told a magazine then.
“That way, coexistence is better.”
In addition, in the documentary about the pilot that Amazon Prime Video premiered in September 2020, Morselli was one of the main protagonists.
"He is not only competitive on the track, but also in personal life," the model said of him.
