Although Rafael Nadal has accomplished a lot in his life, tying the knot with Mery “Xisca” Perelló on that day was probably one of his happiest moments.On October 19, the couple—who have set an example for a loving and supportive marriage—celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary.
The couple were married in 2019. They recently celebrated Rafael Jr.’s first birthday on October 8, 2022. They dated for a total of 14 years before to being married. Although the family is incredibly secretive, the information that has been made public on their relationship is quite endearing. It is said that Mary was introduced to Rafa’s sister, Maribel Nadal Parera, when she was 14 years old, by her closest school friend. They embodies the epitome of the perfect high school couple.
It wasn’t a conventional proposal when they made the decision to wed in May 2018 while on vacation in Rome. “You don’t need to talk it through much when you’ve been together for 15 years,” he clarified on 60 Minutes.
“It was merely a matter of asking one another if we would eventually be married. And “well, I suppose so.” During the first eight months of their engagement, the couple kept the good news to themselves.
Although it was a private ceremony, they made sure it was memorable by holding it in their homeland of Mallorca, Spain. The location was La Fortaleza, a stronghold from the 17th century. Rosa Clara, a bridal designer based in Barcelona, created Mery’s long-sleeved gown. Majorca Daily reports that a “small army” of photographers waited for a picture at strategic locations throughout Puerto Pollensa, but they came away empty-handed.
The joyful pair’s lives were irrevocably transformed when Mery became pregnant with their first child. June 2022 was the month he made the announcement. Just two weeks had passed after Nadal and teammate Roger Federer were defeated in a doubles match when he was welcomed into the globe.
The 37-year-old is kept busy at home by his family and life, but he still has his sights set on tennis. He had to have surgery in January due to a hip ailment, and he has been recovering for the rest of the year.
The great is making every effort to compete in the January 2024 Australian Open, according to Bleacher Report. Director of the Australian Open competition Craig Tiley acknowledged having spoken with the Spaniard during an appearance on Nine Network’s Today Show last week. “Unless he believes he can win, he won’t enter the competition. He’s not just going to come play; he’s going to come play to win,” he declared.
Nadal posted a confirmation on X that he was practicing daily. “I value the Australian Open’s vote of confidence… I’m training hard every day and will be back as soon as possible,” he wrote.
We might not see Mery in the stands if he returns in January. It is commonly known that she doesn’t go to every one of his games. He needs his privacy when he is racing, and the thought of me sticking around and attending to his demands all day wears me out, the 33-year-old said in an interview with The Telegraph in 2011. I would suffocate from it. She went on, “And then he would have to be worrying about me. No.” I believe there’s a chance we wouldn’t get along if I followed him around.
