So, the other day, I found myself thinking about Xisca Perelló. You know, Rafa Nadal’s wife. It wasn’t for any big reason, just one of those random thoughts that pop into your head while you’re having coffee.

I decided to look her up. Just basic stuff, really. What does she actually do? I hopped onto my computer, opened up a browser, and just typed her name in. Simple enough, right?
My Search Begins
Well, the first thing I noticed was loads and loads of pictures. Mostly her at tennis matches, looking supportive. Lots of articles about her style, her relationship with Rafa, appearances here and there. It was all very… public, but also very focused on her connection to him.
I kept digging. I wanted to know more about her, not just her as ‘the wife’. I remembered hearing she worked for his foundation. So I tried searching for that specifically.
Finding the Foundation Stuff
Okay, this got me a bit closer. Found the Rafa Nadal Foundation website. Saw her name mentioned, director general, I think? Cool. But finding details about her specific role, day-to-day stuff? Much harder. It was mostly about the foundation’s projects, which is fair enough, but still not quite what my curiosity was after.

- Clicked through several news articles.
- Tried different search terms like “Xisca Perelló job role”.
- Looked at some Spanish news sites too, using translate.
What I Realized
After maybe half an hour of this, clicking around, reading bits and pieces, I kind of leaned back. What did I really learn? Well, confirmed she works at the foundation, saw a lot of photos, read headlines about her private wedding or vacations.
But the detailed, personal stuff? The stuff that makes someone feel like a whole person beyond their public connections? That was way harder to find. It felt like everything available was filtered through the lens of Rafa or just general celebrity watching.
It got me thinking. It’s interesting how public someone can be, yet still maintain a genuine layer of privacy. Or maybe, it’s just that the media focuses only on the angle they think people want – the connection to the famous person. Found it a bit frustrating, honestly. I started looking for one thing, but ended up just thinking about how information online works, especially around people connected to celebrities. It wasn’t really about finding deep secrets, just satisfying a simple curiosity, but the process itself was the interesting part.
