SHOCK IN THE WORLD OF TENNIS: RAFAEL NADAL PUBLICLY CRITICIZES HIS WIFE MERY PERELLÓ – “SHE USED OUR CHILDREN TO ADVERTISE HERSELF, INCLUDING THE NEWBORN ONLY A FEW WEEKS OLD!” Just 30 minutes later, his wife Xisca Perelló reacted in a shocking way, leaving Spanish fans very worried.

Madrid, November 23, 2025. Rafael Nadal, the king of clay, has shaken the world of tennis with an explosive publication on social networks that no one expected. The Manacorí, retired a year ago, wrote a very harsh text against his wife Mery Perelló.

“I am deeply disappointed. Mery has used our children, including our baby who is just a few weeks old, to promote her new line of luxury children’s clothing. This crosses all limits,” Nadal wrote, visibly enraged, before millions of followers.

The publication, which accumulated more than 8 million “likes” in less than an hour, included screenshots of stories where little Rafael Jr., only 42 days old, appeared wearing a hat with the logo of his mother’s brand.

Sources close to the couple say that the argument had been brewing for weeks. Nadal, known for fiercely protecting his family’s privacy, would have exploded upon seeing the newborn turned into a model without his express consent.

Just 30 minutes later, Xisca Perelló responded with an Instagram story that left all Spaniards frozen: a black and white photo of the wedding ring on her finger, accompanied by the text “Sometimes love hurts too.”

The hint was interpreted as a possible separation. Fans flooded the networks with the hashtags #TeamRafa and #TeamXisca, while celebrities like Sergio Ramos and Paula Echevarría reacted with shock emojis.

In Mallorca, where the family resides, neighbors claim to have heard a loud argument in the Porto Cristo mansion the night before. “We had never heard them scream like that,” a neighbor confessed to this medium under anonymity.

Friends of the tennis player reveal that Rafa would be considering temporarily moving to his academy in Manacor with the children, while Mery remains at the family home. The shared fortune of more than 300 million complicates any separation.

Perelló’s children’s clothing brand, launched just three months ago, has multiplied its sales by 15 after the controversy, proving the old saying: “let people talk about you, even if it’s bad.” Marketing strategy or real crisis?
