Real Madrid legend Casillas pictured on ‘date’ with ex-porn star Claudia Bavel – who earns more than top footballers
REAL MADRID legend Iker Casillas has been romantically linked with a former porn star and OnlyFans model after being pictured on a “date” while they stayed at the same Barcelona hotel.
The former Spain international has enjoyed the company of a string of attractive women since his split with radio and TV presenter Sara Carbonero in March 2021 after five years of marriage.
Reports in Spain suggest his latest love interest is Claudia Bavel, who is said to make around £17,000 a month from OnlyFans.
The 28-year-old brunette defines herself online as a “content creator and ex-adult film actress.”
She has nearly 250,000 followers on her ‘official’ Instagram account where she shows off her curves in a range of figure-hugging outfits.
And she has another 16,000 followers on a second account where she has published more daring selfies and a link to her Only Fans page where she describes herself as a model and influencer and adds: “My bad hot side wants you at my links.”

Casillas announced his retirement from professional football in August 2020 after a heart attack just over a year earlier while he was training with last side Porto.
Snaps of him and Claudia together in the Catalan capital, taken last Tuesday, were published by weekly glossy Spanish magazine Diez Minutos.
The pictures coincided with a visit the pair made the same evening to an event in a winery in the town of Vilanova i la Geltru around 30 miles south of Barcelona with former Real Madrid players Luis Figo and Michel Salgado.
The magazine said the pair abandoned the unnamed hotel together early the following morning, deliberately leaving separately in case they were spotted by waiting paparazzi.

It is not the first time they have been romantically linked although these are the first pictures of them side by side.
Spanish journalist Javier Hoyos claimed recently he had spotted the model and Iker, 43, enjoying a passionate kiss during a dinner date at an upmarket restaurant near the Costa Brava resort of Blanes in May last year.
Neither the former shot-stopper or Claudia have confirmed they are seeing each other but asked about him a few weeks ago in an interview, she replied: “We are two single people.”
It would be the first time Iker, popularly dubbed Saint Iker for his ability to produce miraculous saves, has decided to date an OnlyFans model.
But it would not be the first footballer partner for Claudia, who enjoyed a brief romance with Spanish-born Senegalese international Keita Balde, who is currently playing in Turkey.
Shortly after Casillas split from his former wife, who he famously kissed on air during a post-match interview after Spain won the 2010 World Cup before they officially became partners and the parents of two children, he was linked to a Malaga-based Spanish singer.
She denied she was the retired keeper’s new squeeze by posting a photo of her with her boyfriend and raging: “I hope whoever is trying to cause damage through false information pays.”
He was linked late last year to former Miss Spain Maria Jose Suarez and before that to another model Ana Martin as well as a journalist called Ana Quiles, although Casillas denied any romance with her.
