After 30 years together, Pep Guardiola and his wife Cristina Serra have reportedly separated. The couple, who first met in 1994 while Guardiola played for Barcelona, married in 2014 and have three children together. Despite the split, reports suggest they remain on amicable terms.
Pep Guardiola and his wife Cristina Serra have reportedly separated after 30 years together. It is understood that their relationship began and ended with long-distance. Spanish reports suggest that Serra returned to Barcelona with one of their three children in 2019, and now, over five years later, the couple has called it quits. Despite the split, Guardiola and Serra are said to remain on amicable terms.
They were reportedly seen together at a theatre during Christmas with one of their daughters, according to The Daily Record. The couple first met in 1994 when Guardiola was playing for Barcelona, but they didn't marry until 2014 in a private ceremony. They have three children: daughters Maria and Valentina, and son Marius. Since Serra's move back to Barcelona in 2019, they have lived primarily separately, with Guardiola staying in Manchester while his wife moved between Spain and the UK. However, they continued to be spotted together on numerous occasions. This news comes amidst a resurgence in Manchester City's form, who have won their last three games in all competitions following a slump that saw their title retention hopes fade. Manchester City may also be facing the remainder of the season without their captain Kyle Walker, who has expressed a desire to leave. Both AC and Inter Milan are reportedly interested in Walker, and there are also talks of a lucrative offer from Saudi Arabia. When asked about whether Walker would play for City again, Guardiola said: 'I don't know. It depends on how we are going to train. It depends on him.' He further stated: 'The situation is different now, but the transfer window will finish when it finishes and I don't know what's going to happen.' He also added: 'I said to Kyle now it's a question of the market. He is an incredible player, with incredible physicality and when he's focused he's unstoppable as a right-back.' Guardiola remarked that Walker was top-class, adding, 'If he's fit he can play for one, two, three or four more years as a professional. I've never seen a player with these physical conditions in my career.' On the possibility of a move, Guardiola clarified: 'If he wants to explore a move away, the club is going to explore, and he has to decide, not me. It's not my decision. But he has to have an agreement with the club.'
