She has been the athlete&#8217;s unwavering support for almost twenty years. María Francisca Perreló, nicknamed &#8220;Xisca&#8221;, was present in the stands of Roland-Garros this Monday, July 29, to attend the meeting between the athlete and Novak Djokovic during the Paris Olympic Games. A united couple, which stands the test of time.

20 years of love
Although he does not say anything about his relationship, preferring to preserve his privacy, Rafael Nadal began a relationship with María Francisca Perelló in 2005. At that time, it was María Isabel, the athlete&#8217;s sister and childhood friend of his future partner, who would have acted as matchmaker. A strategy that paid off as the two lovebirds never separated. On the one hand, Rafael Nadal continues the Huge homerun tournaments and becomes one of the best tennis players in the world. On the other hand, her other half has flourished professionally in an insurance company, risking joining his Rafael Nadal Foundation, which aims to give an opportunity to disadvantaged or disabled children through sport. Very discreet, the young woman works in the shadow of the athlete and her public appearances in the stands or on social networks are scarce. To live happily, let&#8217;s live in hiding? &#8220;He needs his space during competitions (&#8230; ) If I followed him everywhere, I think we would run the risk of not getting along anymore,&#8221; explains the woman nicknamed Xisca in 2011, in the columns of the &#8220;Broadcast&#8221;. A balance that they like to cultivate in the shadow of prying eyes.

Secretly, the two lovebirds also take their time. Together since 2005, Rafael Nadal and María Francisca Perelló decided to get married only in October 2019, during a ceremony organized in Mallorca. &#8220;We got married to have a big celebration. Basically, not much has changed in our lives since we&#8217;ve been together for 17 years (… ) But it seemed like the right time to do it,&#8221; said the tennis star on &#8220;Paris Match&#8221;. And if Rafael Nadal has been competing in tournaments for years, now there are three more who continue their adventure.
