The Spanish celebrity press has been abuzz with news of Pep Guardiola’s separation from his long-time partner, Cristina Serra, after over three decades together.
According to El Periodico, the breakup stems from Guardiola’s deep commitment to his professional career, with his recent contract extension at Manchester City reportedly being the tipping point.
Serra had hoped the family would leave Manchester, with many close to the couple believing that Guardiola’s time at the club was coming to an end and that they would relocate to the Emirates. However, the unexpected extension left her feeling blindsided.
Despite the split, reports suggest the separation is amicable and may not be permanent.
