He couldn’t handle the situation wisely, couldn’t speak of his goals and feelings openly, and thus, after two years of marriage and a daughter, they got divorced. While talking to the Telegraph, he hinted that not finding the same ground and ‘different goals’ must have been the reason for their separation.

Moreover, Marco opened up that his goal was winning three Michelin stars and that his ambitions came before everything else in life. On the contrary, he was ignorant about his ex-wife’s dreams. Hence, Marco and Alex parted ways in 1990.

Alex McArthur’s former husband jumped into more devastating relationships, including brief marriage with an English model, Lisa Butcher, and estranged wife, Mati Conejero. He also welcomed three kids with Mati, Marco White Jr., Mirabelle White, and Luciano White, before diving into one of the most bitter divorce battles in British history.
