Reports from Spain have revealed that Manchester City Manager Pep Guardiola and his wife, Cristina Serra, have separated after 30 years together.
The 53-year-old Manchester City boss and Serra got married in an intimate ceremony on the outskirts of Barcelona in 2014, but have now decided to part ways.
News of their split was first reported by the Spanish outlet Sport.
The couple, who met in 1994, had been living apart for more than five years after Serra moved back to Barcelona with one of their three children, Valentina, 17, while Guardiola remained in Manchester.
They also have two older children—Maria, 24, and Marius, 22.
Guardiola and Serra, a Brazilian journalist and writer, had remained a couple despite living in separate cities and were regularly pictured together in recent years.
Reports indicate that the decision to end their marriage was made in December 2024, with only their inner circle initially aware of the split. Their trusted friends and family have reportedly been asked not to disclose further information, Daily Mail reports.
