Rafael Nadal is reportedly getting ready to tie the knot to Maria Francisca Perello after a 14-year-long relationship!
Rafa is engaged to longtime girlfriend, Maria Francisca, reports Hola magazine. In fact, the wedding is only a few months away!
The pair plan to get married during the autumn in Mallorca and it has emerged that Rafa proposed during a loved-up trip to Rome last May.
Rafa has previously opened up about the pair’s plan to have kids, telling Hello! magazine: “Obviously, I have the intention of forming a family. I love children and I would like my children to do what they like.”
Maria is a 30-year-old insurance worker and business graduate. She also serves as a project director for the Rafa Nadal Foundation, the charity he founded almost ten years ago.
Congratulations to Rafa and Maria!
congratulations. I have been wishing this for you for years. Maria seems wonderful and supportive.
You know when you’re ready & as your relationship has a strong foundation, so will your marriage. Wishing you a healthy, joyous life together. I know you will be an excellent father as already you wisely say to let your kids be whoever & whatever they want!
What fabulous fabulous news
About time the world has been
Waiting
So happy for you both
Enjoy it all life is wonderful 🌹🥰
🙏🥰🌹🥳
Mery has been wearing the diamond necklace since Monte Carlo last April There are photos with Prince Albert online where it is visible. If the engagement was in May then this does not represent that event. In any case I hope the story in Hello is accurate. Would love to see them walk down the aisle. They seem to be beautiful soul mates.
R.R. from CANADA, thanks so much for being respectful to Mery for calling her by the name she wishes to be known. I learned that when I read Rafa’s autobiography years ago. I have also seen it spelled Meri but will now hereafter spell it as in the Hola article unless Rafa or Mery make a correction.
The very best to these childhood sweethearts and may their marital union last forever.
RAFA ROCKS

Wonderful news!
Congratulations Rafa and Maria x💖🎉🥂🎊🎉🥂🎊
I would keep things just the way they are Rafa. Marriage can be stressful amongst your career in tennis. I would do it after your retirement that way you’ll have complete focus and attention on your marriage.
congratulations champ hopefully mariage give you a stable life and peace and calm inside yourself. Make sure you protect you hard earn money. You never now how things migh go
hahaha I burst out laughing at the last part!!
pre-nup… pre-nup… pre-nup . lol
mjus, I hope you were joking about Rafa making sure he “protects his hard earned money.” You can’t possibly mean Mery?
Anyone else not of her caliber would have asked Rafa for the Hope diamond as an engagement stone. I think Mery is the type of wife who would not ask for anything were they ever to separate [God forbid]. She has always been there for Rafa supporting him when he needed it but pretty much protected her privacy. She wouldn’t even discuss Rafa with her family when she was just a teen. She could have made a lot of money by giving exclusive interviews about her relationship with Rafa. Of course, had she done that, Rafa would most likely have said “Adios.”
Rafa is the only fortune she wants.
What since may before or after the French Open. Many happiness to you both
Rafa y Maria
Le deseo mucha felicidad juntos y un matrimonió lleno de mucho amor, comprensión, comunicacióny mucha felicidad en toda su vida. Nunca se acuesten enojado. Que el padre Celestíal los bendiga siempre y su familia. Tu fan q te quiere mucho

Hola Senior Rafael, Hola Seniora Maria,
Right time, right age, right partner to stay together. Keep up your charms and for sure we will follow your family activities. Looking forward for another Rafa Jr.
Wonderful news . They are a beautiful couple , success and all that goes with it hasn’t changed their discreet , low key behaviour . They appear to be perfectly matched .
I noticed a big diamond on a chain in recent months worn by Maria .
Maria works full time with the Rafa Nadal Foundation and is bard at the Academy .
I don’t the wedding plans have anything to do with imminent retirement .
Wishing them both continued love , loyalty and joy .
I am thrilled that Meri and Rafa managed to keep their huge little secret private for eight months. Eight months. Just fabulous because she is such a private person. Instead of an engagement ring she’s been wearing a necklace with a huge diamond since last May. They both fooled the media. Brilliant strategy.
I couldn’t be more thrilled. She is just perfect for him– I also noticed the diamond she wore on a necklace and speculated that it was probably an engagement diamond. Great couple, and I expect their kids will be amazing. God Bless Rafa and Mary!!
You guessed right.
Brilliant tacticians both. I had to laugh at one of the articles I read [don’t remember if it was in English or Spanish] where the comment about the necklace was “probably a gift from Rafa,” prior to their public announcement.
RAFA ROCKS HIS HONEY
what about me?

What WONDERFUL news! Congratulations to Rafa and Meri. Wishing this extraordinary couple a happy and fruitful marriage. I can already hear the pitter-patter of little feet.
I hope it will be televised
