Pep Guardiola divorces his wife Cristina Serra after 30 years together
After 30 years together, Pep Guardiola and his wife, Cristina Serra, have called it quits. Yep, you read that right. The man behind Manchester City’s magic and his Brazilian journalist wife are parting ways, and they’re doing it in a chill, amicable manner. According to reports from El Periodico, the split is stable, friendly, and drama-free.
The couple’s story began in 1994 and was nothing short of a fairy tale. They tied the knot in 2014 near Barcelona and built a beautiful family. But life has twists, and after years of managing clubs across different countries, the distance seems to have taken its toll. Over the past five years, the duo reportedly started to drift apart.
Let’s talk about their family. Pep and Cristina share three kids: Maria, 24; Marius, 22; and Valentina, 17. While Pep’s been holding it down in Manchester, Cristina has been in Barcelona with their youngest. Fun fact: despite their decision to split, they spent Christmas together with their children. That’s what we call keeping it classy.
The official decision to separate happened in December, but they kept things under wraps. Only their closest circle knew, and everyone’s been sworn to secrecy. Respect for privacy, right?
Now, if you’re wondering what Cristina’s been up to, she left Manchester in 2019 to dive deeper into the fashion biz with her family’s company, Serra Claret. Talk about chasing your passion!
Meanwhile, Pep’s been making moves on the pitch. Despite whispers about him possibly leaving Manchester City, he put pen to paper on a new two-year deal last November. That means he’s sticking around until 2027. City fans, rejoice! This week, he focuses on the game as Manchester City faces Brentford. City is currently sixth in the Premier League table, so there’s no room for distractions.
Breakups are tough, but this one’s setting the bar high for grace and maturity. It’s never easy to end a chapter, but Pep and Cristina prove you can do it with dignity and respect. Life goes on, and for these two, the future’s looking bright in their lanes.
