**Happy Birthday to Maria Nadal – My Wife, My Best Friend, My Home**
Today isn’t just another day—it’s the birthday of Maria Nadal (formerly Maria Perelló), my incredible wife and the soul of our little family.
She’s been by my side through the storms, the spotlight, and the silences. From the pressure of Grand Slam finals to quiet moments at home, Maria has never asked for attention, but she’s deserved every bit of love and recognition. She’s not just my wife—she’s my calm, my strength, and my best friend.
Since the very beginning, she’s chosen a life of privacy over headlines, grace over glory. But those of us who know her best, know how deeply she loves, how fiercely she protects, and how selflessly she supports. She’s been the silent heartbeat behind so much of my success.
Now, as we walk into this next chapter—raising a son together, learning, growing, and simply enjoying life—her role has only become more beautiful. Seeing her as a mother has shown me a new kind of strength I never knew existed. And I’m endlessly grateful.
So today, I just want to say thank you. For every sacrifice. For every quiet word of encouragement. For building a life with me that’s real, steady, and filled with love.
Happy birthday, Maria. You’ve never needed the spotlight—but to me, you’ll always shine the brightest.
With all my love,
Rafa 💛
