Alexander Demetriou previous marriage
Alexander and Julia first went public with their relationship at the end of 2020. They shared a series of loved-up Christmas snaps on social media.
He has also previously addressed the breakdown of his marriage to Carlotta, following confirmation of their separation in an Insta Story post.
Alexander said in April 2020: “Although it saddens me that we can no longer be together, I feel this is best for both of us.”
He indicated to The Sun a month later that aspects of his work had been a strain on his four-year marriage.
Alexander said at the time: “I think Carlotta found it hard to see me close, yet so professional, with Maura. It had an impact on her.”
He went on: “I told Carlotta we needed a break but I knew it was for good. I didn’t want to lead her on any more. She was shocked at how serious it was.”
Additionally, he explained: “Several times I had to explain to Carlotta that Maura and I were just friends. Once the rumours start, it becomes a conversation – it was hard for Maura being called a home wrecker online.”
