adminSPAIN and Real Madrid legend Iker Casillas tweeted that he is gay – before later deleting the post.
He later claimed to have been hacked.
The World Cup-winning former goalkeeper appeared to come out, tweeting: “I hope you respect me: I’m gay.”
He told fans via his Twitter account but did not put the same message on his Instagram or Facebook pages.
He did not further address the comment and then deleted it – not before it had over 250,000 likes.
He then tweeted: “Hacked account. Luckily everything in order. Apologies to all my followers. And of course, more apologies to the LGBT community.”
Reports in Spain suggested it may have been posted in response to rife magazine rumours about his post-divorce dating life.
It comes a little over a year after he split from his wife.
The retired goalie and presenter and model Sara Carbonero admitted their love had “taken separate paths” back in March 2021 but said they would remain close to continue the “marvellous job” of raising their two children.
Following the tweet, Casillas was sent thousands of messages of support while former Spain team-mate Carles Puyol replied: “It’s time to tell our story, Iker.” along with a heart and kiss emoji.-The Sun.
