After years of being together, Rafael Nadal and Maria Francisca Perelló have officially ended their relationship, marking the close of a long and cherished chapter in the tennis icon’s personal life. The couple, who had known each other since childhood and married in 2019, were widely seen as one of the most private and enduring partnerships in the sporting world.
Sources close to the pair revealed that while the bond between them remained strong, the challenges of time, distance, and evolving priorities ultimately led to their decision to part ways. “We gave it everything but sometimes love alone isn’t enough,” a joint statement shared with Spanish media read.
Nadal, known globally for his passionate dedication to tennis, has been candid in recent years about shifting his focus toward family life, especially following a string of injuries. Meanwhile, Maria, often referred to affectionately as Xisca, maintained a low profile throughout their relationship, continuing her work outside of the spotlight.
Their split, while unexpected to many fans, is said to have been amicable and filled with mutual respect. Both have asked for privacy as they move forward separately, emphasizing that their past remains filled with admiration, shared memories, and deep gratitude for the years they spent together.
