Earlier this year, Casillas was spotted with Onieva on a trip to Ibiza. Fans speculated that the two were in a relationship. 

A Diezminutos source said that the actor and Iker Casillas were dating for weeks. However, their relationship was affected by her former sister-in-law Spanish TV host Tamara Falco.

“Now the press is also following Alejandra and that makes it difficult for her to meet Iker without being caught,” the source had said. 

In July 2020, Onieva was reported to be dating actor Sebastian Stan.
