10 Football Stars Who Dated Celebrities

8. Francesco Totti

Francesco Totti is a 42-year-old retired football star out of Rome, Italy. The former attacking midfielder is widely considered to be one the finest Italian players of his generation, and a bona fide Roman legend.

As a member of his home country's national team, Totti helped Italy bring home the World Cup in 2006. He was also a member of Roma for the entirety of his professional career (1992-2017) and is hailed as the greatest player in franchise history.

From 2001 to 2003, Totti was involved with an Italian model by the name of Maria Mazza. Within that same time frame (2001) he was also linked to actress Manuela Arcuri. However, the All-Star would eventually settle down with former showgirl and television host, Ilary Blasi. The couple got hitched back in 2005 and remain married to this day. They receive a great deal of attention from Italian tabloid outlets and are sometimes referred to as the "Italian Beckhams."
