Rafael Nadal addresses wife Mery Perello’s pregnancy for the first time – ‘I’m going to be a father’

Rafael Nadal has broken his silence following the news of his wife Mery Perello’s pregnancy earlier this week.

Speaking at a press conference in Mallorca on Friday, the 36-year-old – who revealed he intends to take part in Wimbledon for the first time in three years – touched upon his family’s joy after being congratulated.

“If all goes well, I’m going to be a father,” he told reporters. “I’m not used to talking about my private life. We live calmer with a lower profile. I don’t expect that my life will change much with it.”

This will be the first child for Rafael and his wife Mery, who have been in a committed relationship for 17 years and married in October 2019.
