Nadal “melted” in front of two children: The image of a beautiful family like a dream after retiring!
After officially saying goodbye to the legendary tennis career in October 2024, Rafael Nadal turned a new journey, no longer spotlights or choking matches, but instead of warm, peaceful family. With Nadal, the days after retirement are not sad silence, but a happy music – where he lives the role of a father and husband.

The new chapter is full of love after the glory
For more than two decades of tennis, Nadal has become a global symbol with 22 Grand Slam titles and a series of illustrious trophies. He was dubbed the “crew king”, a warrior never gave up. However, after all, Nadal chose to back down at the right time – when his physical strength was no longer at the peak, and more importantly, he wanted to spend a complete time for his family, especially for two young children who were growing day by day.
In the latest images recorded by the Spanish media, Nadal is no longer a cold, brave player on the field. In front of the two children, he became so gentle, warm to the point … “melted”. From the moments of holding the child in his arms, taking me for a walk by the Mallorca beach, to the wife – Maria Francisca Perelló – Taking care of the small home, Nadal exudes a simple but deep happiness.

Dedicated father – soft heart after steel appearance
Anyone who has seen Nadal remember the image of a brave warrior, a sweaty face but steadfast eyes. Few doubt, behind that solidness is an extremely emotional father. Many fans were touched when they saw Nadal patiently playing with their children, or graciously wiping her tears when they fell. He once shared:
“Previously, my biggest victory was the titles. But now, the best victory is to see your smiles every day.”
It was not only the transformation of a sports legend, but also a testament to the sacred family value, what he always put on the top after retired.
Maria – silent companion
If Nadal is a powerful image on the tennis court, then Maria is a peaceful pier behind. The couple has been with many years before officially returning to the same house in 2019. During Nadal’s career, Maria rarely appeared too much before the media, but her quiet support was the great spiritual fulcrum that helped Nadal overcome injuries and failures.

Now, when Nadal spends all his family time, Maria becomes the most important “teammate”. The two of them raised their children together, creating a home full of love and laughter.
Simple but full of joy
What makes fans most touched is the simplicity in the way Nadal enjoys life. He is not ostentatious, not lavish. Daily images such as Nadal take her children to school, play football in the garden, or the whole family walking together … quickly “causing fever” on social networks.
Fans commented:
-
“It is wonderful to see Nadal find new happiness with family.”
-
“A legend on the field, and now is a legend in his home.”
Beautiful pictures like dreams
These days, Nadal no longer runs at the stressful training schedule or the pressure of competition. He spent all his time witnessing every child’s mature moment, to hold his wife’s hand in peaceful afternoons. From a “king” on the ground, Nadal has now become a “hero” of the small family – where the joy does not come from the championship, but from the innocent smiles of children.
For fans, Rafael Nadal is forever an immortal monument of the tennis village. But for himself, the most noble title after retirement is in two simple hours: “Family”.
