Alexia Putellas is once again in the spotlight in the media, although this time for reasons unrelated to sports. The captain of FC Barcelona and two-time Ballon d'Or winner is going through a difficult personal moment after the end of her relationship with Olga Ríos.
Although the news hasn't been directly confirmed by the footballer, it was journalist Javier de Hoyos who revealed the breakup. He did so through his social media and later on the show D Corazón, broadcast by La 1 de TVE.
Alexia Putellas and Olga Ríos reportedly ended their relationship
On that show, he claimed to have information from a source close to both of them. According to this version, the separation wasn't marked by conflicts or third parties, but by a much more common circumstance: distance.
"There was nothing strange," De Hoyos explained during his appearance. He also clarified that the decision wasn't due to serious personal problems, but to the strain caused by living in different cities.
"No third parties or anything like that," he added, making it clear that the breakup wasn't traumatic. According to him, "they love each other very much, they care a lot about each other," showing that, despite the end of the relationship, the affection between them remains.
One of the key factors was reportedly the incompatibility of lifestyles. While Olga lives in Madrid, Alexia continues her career in Barcelona, where she is fully focused on her professional goals.
The footballer's commitment to her work was decisive: "Olga lives in Madrid, Alexia in Barcelona. She is so focused on her work that, in the end, distance took its toll," the journalist explained.

Moreover, everything suggests that the separation isn't recent. According to De Hoyos, "it's something they've already processed," and it reportedly happened several months ago. Even so, a possible future reconciliation isn't ruled out: "The affection is still there," the reporter concluded.
Alexia Putellas is facing this personal moment with the same discretion and maturity she has shown in her sports career. Although her love life has taken a turn, she is doing so without scandals or public conflicts.
Meanwhile, Alexia remains focused on her professional goals and, despite the changes in her life, the support from her followers remains intact. Meanwhile, her story with Olga Ríos stands as a significant chapter that, for now, has come to an end.
