Soccer Star Sergio Rico Home Invaded, Family Assaulted

Spanish soccer player Sergio Rico and his wife, influencer Alba Silva, experienced a terrifying armed robbery at their Seville home on Monday, October 19, 2026. Five hooded intruders, armed and masked, reportedly forced their way into the residence around 10 p.m. local time. The couple was dining with their two young children and Silva's mother when the incident occurred. The family reportedly sought refuge in another room, but the assailants allegedly broke down the door, assaulting both Rico and Silva before absconding with stolen valuables. Rico later suggested that reports of the violence against him were exaggerated. This incident is believed to have been an organized robbery. Silva confirmed to the press that the event has been reported to the police, later reassuring her followers that her family was safe following the ordeal. This is not the first time Rico has been targeted; his Paris home was burglarized in January 2021, with thieves making off with over $28,000 in cash, jewelry, and watches. The recent home invasion occurred some time after Rico's serious horseback riding accident in May 2023, which led to a three-week coma and hospitalization until August 2023.
