Tennis star Matteo Berrettini has split from his sex-mad girlfriend Melissa Satta.

The Sun reports the 2021 Wimbledon runner-up shared his respect for Melissa and the pair appear to have broken up amicably.

Berrettini, 27, did not wish to reveal too many details but admitted there were difficulties in the relationship, which began in January 2023.

He said: “Melissa Satta and I are no longer together.

“What I can say is that we had a beautiful, intense relationship, we have great respect for each other. I won’t go beyond this, I don’t like sharing my private life too much.

“Nothing special happened. I must thank her for this period we lived together very intensely despite all the difficulties of the case.”

Melissa has a long history of dating sports stars and was in a relationship with former Italy and Inter Milan striker Christian Vieri, but her alleged infidelity cut short that romance.

Satta also had an affair with the late Kobe Bryant, which led the former basketball star’s wife Vanessa to file for divorce.

The 38-year-old married former Barcelona star Kevin-Prince Boateng in June 2016 and they have a son, Maddox Prince, aged nine.

Berrettini and Melissa Satta have split up.

But they divorced in 2020 after initially separating in 2019 before getting back together for a short period.

Boateng, who also played for Tottenham and Portsmouth, revealed Melissa was a sex addict with the supermodel admitting they had a very active sex life.

She said previously: “The reason why he is always injured is because we have sex seven to ten times a week.

“I hate foreplay, I want to go straight for it. I prefer to be on top so that I can be in control.”

Berrettini has been plagued by injuries since his run to the Wimbledon final in 2021 and has fallen to World No. 125 in the rankings. He missed the Australian Open with a right foot injury.
