Better late than never.

Nadal’s wife Mery Perello started wearing more loose-fitting clothes and donned a face mask at the recent Champions League final between Liverpool and Real Madrid, which helped sparked the pregnancy rumors. There has not yet been any comment from the tennis star or his wife, who dated for 14 years before they married back in October 2019. The couple are currently relaxing off Majorca with a group of friends on board the ‘Great White, the 78-foot POUNDS 4.2 million Sunroof Power catamaran Rafael had custom-built two years ago

Rafael said in March 2018: ‘Obviously I intend and want to form a family. I love children and I would like them to do what they want in life’

According to Spanish magazine Hola!:

“It all started as a rumor, and after weeks of intense speculation, ¡HOLA! magazine has been able to confirm that Rafael Nadal and María Francisca Perelló are expecting their first child.

The alarms went off at the Roland Garros tournament, where Nadal was able to win his 14th French Open title and 22nd Grand Slam – he becomes the oldest champ of the clay-court tournament history. Even though Rafa made history, all eyes were on his wife, Mery, and her ‘suspicious’ change of style. She was wearing comfortable and loose looks, such as the wide lingerie cut dress that she wore in the stands during the final.

Congrats to Nadal and his wife if the rumors are true.

He should definitely name his kid, boy or girl, Clay.

Makes total sense. Check out more of Nadal and his wife below:
