Heartbreaking news as Pep Guardiola and his wife, Cristina Serra, are reportedly separated.
Pep Guardiola and his wife, Cristina Serra, have reportedly decided to part ways, ending their 30-year association.
The details
The Manchester City boss has had a torrid time on the pitch this season, as he and his side have found new lows. A shocking report today from the Spanish publication Sport reveals that his private life was also in turmoil as he and his wife were working through a separation.
According to the report, the demands of Guardiola's job have meant that the pair spent the last six years living apart. Pep is domiciled in Manchester, while Serra and their three kids shuttle between Barcelona and London.
The pair were said to have reached the breaking point last year and informed their close friends and family in December. Determined to keep the news away from the public, Pep and Serra have reportedly made public appearances together after the date of the reported announcement.
Pep and Serra
Serra, 52, is a Spanish fashion designer and businesswoman. She and Guardiola reportedly met in 1994 but eventually got married in 2014. Guardiola is one of the more fashionable football coaches around, and he owes this to Serra, who he credits for styling him.
"My wife is the best in the world at many things, but especially in fashion," Guardiola said. "She usually tells me, don't wear this or that, so I follow her advice. I'm smart enough to know that when people are much better than me, I take their advice, and hers is truly good."
Pep Guardiola and Cristina Serra have three kids together. Their oldest, Maria, is a 23-year-old model with over 950k followers on Instagram. Their son Marius was born in 2003, and their youngest child Valentina was born in 2008.
