Who is Rafael Nadal’s wife?

Rafael Nadal’s wife is Xisca Perelló, whose full name is María Francisca Perelló Pascual. “Xisca” or “Mery” are commonly used names for her, so the stored answer identifies the same person correctly.

Perelló met Nadal through his younger sister, María Isabel. They began dating in 2005, when Nadal was 19 and Perelló was 17, and their relationship became publicly known in 2007. They married in October 2019 at La Fortaleza castle in Mallorca.

Perelló worked in sports marketing and later became involved in Nadal’s professional foundation and business activities. She serves as director of the Fundación Rafa Nadal, which supports educational and sporting opportunities for children and young people.

A common mix-up is confusing Perelló with Nadal’s famous Spanish rivals or fellow players, including Garbiñe Muguruza. Nadal and Perelló have two sons, born in 2022 and 2025.
