Soon After Becoming a Father, Rafael Nadal Dedicates a Romantic Venture to Wife Maria Francisca Perello

Rafael Nadal, the 22-time Grand Slam champion, tied the knot with his childhood sweetheart Maria Francesca Perello in the year 2019. They met as teenagers in Mallorca and, after being together for 17 years, decided to exchange vows. Nadal is shy and doesn’t believe in publicizing his personal life. However, he recently got quite vocal.

While speaking about his and Perello’s latest work, he disclosed what she means to him. Further, he also spoke about how they landed the idea of launching their own perfume. 

Rafael Nadal and Perello’s venture

Nadal and his wife Perello joined hands with Henry Jacques to introduce a set of fragrances. “I’m a very public person in my work, of course, but in my private life, one of the most important things—and what I consider to be one of my greatest successes—is that Maria and I have been able to have a really normal life,” Nadal confessed.

“We’re taking the next step in our lives now, though, so we thought—why not do something together?” The former World no.1 and Perello welcomed their firstborn in October this year. They have been blessed with a son whom they named after his father.

Speaking of their collaboration with Henry Jacques, it will be a new experience for both parties. The brand standing strong since 1975 has never teamed up with anyone. Nadal, who has earlier promoted fragrances for brands such as Tommy Hilfiger and Lanvin, will be jumping on the market for the first time as well. The collection celebrating love and togetherness is aptly called ‘In All Intimacy’. 

How Nadal performed in this season

The 36-year-old has had a year full of ups and downs. At first, he executed an illustrious 20-match win streak, securing an Australian Open trophy and a run to the finals of Indian Wells. However, he incurred a rib injury post the event and had to skip the Miami Open and the initial tournaments of the clay-court season. 

Nadal rejoined the circuit through Madrid Masters and won a record 14th French Open title. Though, during the clay-based Grand Slam, his foot issue resurfaced, making him skip the warm-up events of the grass swing. The 2-time Wimbledon champion, with no prior practice, entered the London-based majors and again fell prey to an injury.

During the quarterfinals, he suffered an abdominal injury and stepped out of the tournament. Following that, Nadal participated in the Cincinnati Masters and the US Open, before playing with his friend and long-time rival Roger Federer at the Laver Cup. Since then he’s been away from the Tour. However, he is expected to be back for the ATP Tour Finals.
