Just In: Pep Guardiola and wife Cristina Serra separate after more than 30 years together
Pep Guardiola and his wife, Cristina Serra, have announced their decision to separate after more than three decades together, according to reports from Spain. The Manchester City manager and his wife, who have been a prominent couple in the world of football for years, reportedly made the decision to part ways after more than 30 years of marriage.
According to Spanish outlets, the couple has been living separately for the past six years, with Guardiola spending most of his time in Manchester due to his commitments with the Premier League giants, while Serra has been dividing her time between Barcelona and London.
Despite their physical separation, they have continued to share family moments, often coming together for significant dates and celebrations related to Guardiola’s career successes at City.
Guardiola, 53, has spoken publicly on numerous occasions about his relationship with Serra, expressing admiration for her fashion sense.
In a press conference earlier this year, the Catalan coach joked about his wife’s influence on his wardrobe, stating, “My wife is the best in the world at many things, especially fashion. She says normally to me, don’t wear this or wear that, so I follow. I’m smart enough to know when people are much better than me, follow their advice.”
The couple reportedly reached the decision to separate in December 2024, but have asked their close circle of friends and family to keep the details private. Despite their separation, they continue to be seen in public together and have remained on cordial terms.
Just recently, the pair were spotted in Barcelona attending a theatre performance with one of their daughters, and sources suggest that their relationship remains “totally cordial, stable and friendly.”
Guardiola and Serra’s long-standing relationship has always been a subject of interest in the public eye, and while their separation marks a significant personal change for the manager, it appears that they are both committed to maintaining a respectful and amicable partnership moving forward.
