Xisca Perello, Rafael Nadal’s wife, has never been one to seek the spotlight.
But who is Xisca, and what has she said about her reluctant celebrity?
Who is Rafael Nadal’s wife Maria Francisca Perello?
Xisca Perello, born Maria Francisca Perello, is a business graduate and insurance worker.
She is the project director for the Rafa Nadal Foundation, which was founded by Nadal in 2008.
Despite knowing each other for some years, the couple apparently began dating in 2005.
It was a case of ‘finally’ when they married the marriage after dating for 14 years.
They announced their engagement in January 2019 and married in October of that year.
In front of 350 guests, the pair exchanged vows at the La Fortaleza castle in Majorca, his birthplace.
Actors Tom Hiddleston, Olivia Colman, and Hug Laurie were among those invited.
Xisca Perello admitted in one of her few interviews that she avoids most of Rafael Nadal’s tennis matches in order to preserve their relationship.
She also expressed anxiety that if she appeared, she would interrupt her fellow Spaniard’s concentration.
