As everyone knows, Rafa Nadal and Xisca Perelló have received news that has filled their circle with happiness. The couple is expecting their second child. This pregnancy comes two and a half years after the birth of Rafa junior, the couple's first child.
But beyond the happiness emanating from the future parents, there is a key figure in this story. We are talking about his mother, Ana María Parera. Rafa Nadal has excelled in sports, and Ana María has been one of his great pillars.

This is Ana María, Rafa Nadal's discreet mother
Ana María, originally from Manacor, is a woman who from a young age dedicated herself to the business world, managing her own perfumery with dedication and effort. However, it was when her son began to excel in tennis that she decided to make a change in her life.
Instead of continuing with her business, Ana María bet everything on Rafa and devoted herself completely to supporting him. A sacrifice that has been essential for the tennis player's success. In addition to her role as a mother, Ana María has also been key in the development of the Rafa Nadal Foundation.

An initiative that has been working since 2008 on social and educational projects for young people around the world. Her involvement is not limited to sports but encompasses a much deeper dimension, helping those most in need.
Rafa's mother has demonstrated dedication and commitment that transcend simple maternal love. Evidencing a great commitment to her son's well-being and success.

For Rafa Nadal, his parents' separation was a hard blow
Rafa's life hasn't been without complicated moments, such as his parents' separation in 2009. However, the marriage reconciled two years later. Despite personal changes, Ana María and her husband Sebastián have been a constant support for their son.
Now, with Xisca's pregnancy, Ana María is preparing to welcome her second grandchild. The bond between mother and son remains unbreakable. Moreover, the birth of this new member only reinforces the unity that has always characterized the family.
Thus, it's impossible not to think about the essential role Ana María has played in Rafa Nadal's life. An unconditional love that has been key for her son to keep moving forward, with a family that continues to grow and support each other.
