Who is Sara Carbonero?
Sara Carbonero Arévalo is a Spanish TV presenter for Telecinco and sports journalist.
Since 2009, Carbonero has been in a relationship with Spanish football star Iker Casillas.
During the 2010 FIFA World Cup it was alleged that Carbonero, reporting during the match between Spain and Switzerland, had distracted Casillas, causing the unexpected Swiss victory. The allegations were made in the English press, originally by Graham Keeley of The Times and later repeated by several other English newspapers, prompting the Madrid-based Spanish newspapers El Mundo, El País and the popular sports daily Marca to all run articles suggesting that the claims were preposterous and untrue.
Questions were also raised about her journalistic integrity after she undertook to interview her boyfriend Casillas after the match. As a result of the controversy Carbonero in Spain became "one of the most photographed people of the World Cup".
In July 2009, Carbonero was voted "The Sexiest Reporter in the World" by the American edition of FHM.
On 6 July 2013, it was announced that Carbonero and Casillas would become parents for the first time.
