Pedri made his way to senior soccer at the early age of 16. His enthusiasm for the sport comes from a soccer-crazy family. He was born on Nov 25, 2002, in Tegueste, to parents María Rosario and Fernando. His mother Maria joined his father to take care of their family business of running a hotel in his hometown. The place reportedly serves native Canarian Cuisine. Pedri’s father Fernando takes care of the bar and lounge section, while his mother and grandmother look over the kitchen.

It is also reported that the restaurant belongs to the player’s paternal grandfather senior Fernando who opened it in 1972. Senior Fernando was an avid FC Barcelona fan. Subsequently, the call for the sport also rubbed on his son Fernando Junior, Pedri’s father. He was also a soccer player and had the opportunity to be a part of the Spanish third-division club on the neighboring island of Tejina as a goalkeeper. However, he had to take up the restaurant due to Pedri’s grandfather’s death in 2005. Pedri also has a sibling whom he shares a great rapport with.

The former teammate of Lionel Messi has a huge fan following for his age but to the fans’ disappointment, he appears to be single. Pedri shut down relationship rumors last year, and there’s no indication he’s dating anyone. However, the star has one older sibling Fernando Gonzalez aka Fer whom he lives with in Barcelona. Pedri’s brother is a cook by profession.

A few weeks ago, the elder sibling lashed out at the player’s critics who questioned Pedri’s commitment after his club’s disappointing last season. Fer is two years older than Pedri and tries to shield him, like every elder sibling. With great love and support from his family, can the Barcelona star win the Euro 2024 and make them proud?
