Maria Francesca Perello is Rafael Nadal's girlfriend

Maria Francesca Perello is Rafael Nadal’s hot tennis girlfriend.

Both Rafael and Xisca (as she is also known) are from the Spanish island of Mallorca. And as good as Nadal is at handling clay courts (he’s widely considered the best in history), he’s apparently even better at keeping secrets.

Rafael had been dating Maria for a couple years before the press caught wind of it, and even then they were only discovered because they made an official announcement. Coincidentally, the announcement came shortly after Maria turned eighteen.
