The first images of Rafa Nadal and Mery Perello’s son, the tiny Rafael, have been released early this Wednesday morning on the cover of the magazine ‘Semana’. The magazine has published some photographs in which you can see both the tennis player and the businesswoman walking with the little one.
These images of the couple with their baby are quite unusual, since, as the magazine explains, “there are very few occasions in which they let us see their most private side”.

Although the Manacor keeps his private life in the utmost secrecy, Rafa Nadal spoke about his feelings of fatherhood in a press conference a few days before debuting at the Masters 1.00 in Paris-Bercy.
“It is positive to have the video calls, because I can see the little one as often as I want, something that the other generations could not do, it’s not as hard,” confessed the tennis player, who regretted having to stop seeing his child for several weeks because of his work. “You leave your son at home and without being able to see him after two or three weeks, when we still barely know each other, and you already miss him, it’s a new experience, but all changes are difficult in life,” he added.
The birth of Rafael, Rafa Nadal’s first child
On October 8th, Rafa Nadal and Mery Perelló welcomed their first child. The businesswoman gave birth at 37 weeks in a private clinic in Palma, where she had been admitted for several weeks in the final stretch of her pregnancy as a precaution to avoid complications.
A few days after the birth, the couple celebrated their third wedding anniversary, a union that took place in the spectacular mansion of Fortalesa in Port de Pollença on October 19, 2019 after fifteen years of courtship.
