Diego Maradona is highly regarded as one of the greatest soccer players in history. The Argentinian professional athlete played from the late '70s to the '90s with club careers in Argentinos Juniors, Boca Juniors, Barcelona, Napoli, and Sevilla. Although fans across the globe looked up to him, Maradona was also known for his partying lifestyle, drug use, and became known for sleeping with thousands of women. 

According to Goal, while playing with Napoli, an Italian professional soccer club, his driver, Pietro Pugliese claimed that Maradona slept with over 8,000 women. However, he was involved with long-time love Claudia Villafane, who dealt with his misbehavior. He is quoted saying, "I was in love with Claudia but I was no saint. And there were some beautiful women. Oh, so many!"

Despite sleeping around with so many women, Maradona and Villafane eventually married in 1989 in a lavish wedding that reportedly cost upwards of one million dollars. The pair welcomed two daughters, but their marriage was over by 1998, with Villafane filing a lawsuit that read that she was divorcing Maradona for "abandonment of the home in July 1998," per Clarin. According to Goal, Maradona is believed to be the father of eight children with five different women, but many other people have come forward to claim that they too are reportedly the children of the famed soccer star. Maradona died in November 2020 at the age of 60.
