Tennis player Rafael Nadal, 36, will become a father for the first time, according to Hola magazine. Speculation of the pregnancy of his wife, Maria Francisca Perello, 33, began after the two attended the Champions League final, played between Real Madrid and Liverpool.
On the occasion, Perello wore a baggy outfit that ended up showing her belly. The two have been married since 2019, but have been together for 17 years – the couple had been dating for 14 years. They made the union official at the Albercuitx Fortress in Mallorca, Spain.
According to the Spanish press, photographers did not have access to the place, but the party was expected to receive 350 guests. On the list, there were fellow sportsmen of the groom, such as David Ferrer and former athletes Carlos Moyá, Alex Corretja and Albert Costa.
One of his main opponents on the court, Swiss tennis player Roger Federer, did not attend the ceremony because he was competing at the time of the couple’s union. Juan Carlos 1°, King of Spain between 1975 and 2014, was among the guests.
Currently, Nadal and Perello are enjoying a season with friends on a boat, dubbed the Great White. The boat was custom-made for the tennis player, about two years ago, and costs about R$ 26 million.
