Former Spanish footballer Iker Casillas has been seen in public amid his work as a real estate investor in the Dominican Republic after a period of low media exposure. The news agency reported that its recent acquisition of a property in the exclusive area of Cap Cana, where there are complexes with swimming pools, green areas, strict security protocols and access to a private beach, marked the expansion of its property portfolio outside Spain. Casillas’ presence at an event in Madrid aroused interest because he did not make any statements about the recent events that have marked his personal and professional life.
According to the information disseminated by the media, the year 2025 was particularly notable for Casillas because of the various headlines it generated, not only related to his economic movements but also aspects of his privacy. The former goalkeeper has been romantically linked to public figures such as María José Suárez and Claudia Bavel and was also involved in an international media episode when the woman known as the “Colombian Pantoja” declared that she was in a relationship with him.
The former Real Madrid player also made headlines as the alleged victim of a robbery. According to media reports, Casillas realized in late October that a piece of his luxury watch collection was not authentic. After he contacted the National Police, the investigation led to the arrest of his personal assistant, who also worked with Sara Carbonero, and the security guard of the Madrid urbanization where he lives. The two were accused by the authorities of stealing several items worth more than 200,000 euros.
As reported, media attention remained focused on Casillas just a month after the robbery, when his decision to invest in a high-end property in Cap Cana, Dominican Republic, became known. The environment of the area, characterized by privacy and exclusive services, would have been decisive for the exporter to choose this destination, with the intention of having a place to relax away from the public attention.
According to this information, there was no longer any public record about the former Spanish national team captain until his recent reappearance in Madrid. The media reported that Casillas, accompanied by friends, went to the concert of singer Manuel Carrasco, which took place as part of the Starlite Christmas festival. During the event, he maintained a reserved and elusive attitude towards the press. He did not provide any information about his current situation, the progress of the robbery case or his plans for the upcoming Christmas holidays and did not answer any questions. According to the media, Casillas also did not pose in the photo op area and avoided the journalists present at the crime scene.
Despite the impact that recent events have caused in the media, Casillas continues to practice discretion in both his personal and business life. Real estate investments and episodes related to personal issues have attracted public attention, while the former footballer makes a point of staying away from media exposure without providing clarifications or details about his short-term plans.
