Tennis legend Rafael Nadal and his wife, Maria Perello, are reportedly preparing to welcome their second child, according to Spanish magazine “En Semana.” The couple, who have been together since 2005 and married in 2019, are said to be overjoyed as they expand their family.
Nadal and Perello became parents for the first time in October 2022, when their son, Rafael Junior, was born. The birth of their first child marked a new chapter in Nadal’s life, as he balanced his illustrious tennis career with fatherhood. The couple has always maintained a relatively private life, but the news of their growing family has delighted fans worldwide.
The announcement of their second child comes just months after Nadal retired from professional tennis. The 22-time Grand Slam champion officially ended his career in November 2024 at the Davis Cup Finals in Malaga, Spain. His retirement brought an end to a remarkable journey that spanned over two decades and solidified his legacy as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport.
As Nadal transitions into this new phase of his life, the arrival of a second child adds another layer of joy and fulfillment. Fans and well-wishers eagerly await further updates from the couple as they prepare to welcome their newest family member.
