Rafael Nadal and his wife Francisca Perello had their first child in 2022. The baby’s name is Rafael, just like his father. About his son, but also about his next season, the Spanish champion said: “My son Rafael is very well, he sleeps a lot.
If his favorite hand is the right or the left? I still don’t know! I sleep a little less than at first, but it’s completely normal. I try to experience fatherhood in the most natural way possible, I don’t feel different from all the other fathers in this world.
I’m trying to make the most of every moment I can be with him. I’m I’m still a professional athlete and I want to stay in the Tour as long as possible. I work hard every day to stay competitive at the highest level.
When you start thinking about retirement, it means that day is getting closer and closer. I haven’t gotten to that point yet I still feel the right energy and want to move on, but I’m aware.” Nadal started dating Xisca in 2005 after they grew up together in their hometown of Palma de Mallorca on the coast of Spain.
About his wife, Rafa said a few weeks ago: “Fortunately I have a courageous wife, who has always helped me in everything she could and much more, she has always encouraged me to continue. It was she who encouraged me to go to the United States.
It cost me more, but I also broke my abdomen again the week before the US Open.” In 2011, the tennis star told Harper’s Bazaar of his deep love for Xisca. “She’s a lovely person. I feel great with her, and she’s probably the woman of my life.”
Pedro Hernadez, who is a friend of the couple, recently revealed: “They’re not interested in the celebrity lifestyle at all. They get together when the tournaments are over. That’s how Rafa relaxes.” When it comes to his free time, Nadal told Harper’s Bazaar that he attends to the simple things in life: “I like to go fishing, wake up early and go with a boat in the middle of the sea. I like to go out to dinner with friends and then to local bars. In my hometown I can do it.”
