According to various media, the name chosen by the couple for the baby would be Rafael
Rafa Nadal and his wife, Mery Perelló, gave birth this Saturday in Palma de Mallorca to the couple’s first child. This Friday, the tennis player’s wife entered a private clinic in Palma and would have given birth this Saturday afternoon. According to various media, the name chosen by the couple for their first child would be Rafael.
The tennis player had been waiting for some time about the condition of his wife, who was admitted a few weeks ago to a clinic in Palma -reports the ‘Diario de Mallorca’- due to some complications. Precisely, in the last Laver Cup -where the tennis player Roger Federer was fired- he could only be present one day before the imminent delivery of his wife. In addition, Rafa would have been maintaining his preparation during the last few weeks at his Manacor academy with the idea of being close to his wife in the days before giving birth.
“I have much more important things to attend to than tennis,” he said this week after falling in the US Open round of 16. “Personal life always comes before professional life,” he explained.
Rafa and Mery got married last October 2019 in Mallorca after 15 years of dating. The news of his future paternity was known last June through some photos on a yacht published by the magazine ‘HOLA’ where his wife’s belly could be seen.
