Is Atletico Madrid and Argentina forward Julian Alvarez dating former adult actress Mia Khalifa? The duo was rumoured "to be a thing" after several claimed them to have spent time together in Italy and Spain.
The news was not well received by all as 24-year-old Julian Alvarez is in a relationship with childhood sweetheart Maria Emilia Ferrero. Thus, not all fans on the internet were happy about the World Cup winner being linked with Mia Khalifa.
However, Mia Khalifa decided enough was enough and gave a short-yet-hard-hitting clarification on the matter on Tuesday. The Lebonese-American artist, who had received death threats from the Islamic State for her former career in the adult industry, confirmed that she is not dating anybody at the moment. Her post on X (formerly Twitter) was found bizarre by many for her choice of words to mean that she has no interest in seeing a young man. "To clear things up: I’m not dating anybody, and if I was, it certainly wouldn’t be someone not old enough to remember where they were on 9/11," her post read.
'9/11' is generally used to mention the "September 11 attacks" in the United States by Al Qaeda that claimed 2,996 lives.
The 31-year-old Khalifa, who got a divorce after five years of matrimony, entered the porn industry in 2014. She is politically vocal on social media and is an admirer of football. Australian Aaron Mooy, David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane are among the favourite footballers of the Beirut-born celebrity.
Former Manchester City forward Alvarez managed a move to Atletico Madrid this season after two successful years in England.
