Pep Guardiola and his wife Cristina Serra have terminated their thirty-year partnership

The 30-year marriage between Pep Guardiola and his wife Cristina Serra has terminated peacefully, although the two have remained friendly throughout their split.

According to reports, after more than thirty years of marriage, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and his wife, Cristina Serra, have chosen to divorce. The breakup of a partnership that has included major personal and professional turning points was announced by Spanish media on Monday evening.

Since Guardiola was mostly stationed in Manchester for his management responsibilities at the Premier League team, while Serra alternated between Barcelona and London, it is generally assumed that the pair had been living apart for the previous six years. The couple would get together for significant family events, Manchester City victories, and downtime with their kids despite their physical separation.

Guardiola has frequently praised his wife’s impact on his life in public remarks during news conferences. He said in January 2024, “My wife is the world’s finest at a lot of things, but fashion in particular. I obey her instructions when she tells me not to wear this or that. When someone is far more intelligent than I am, I can recognize it and take their advise.

The decision to split was reportedly reached in December 2024. The couple has requested that members of their inner circle respect their privacy and refrain from providing the media with specifics. It is said that their relationship is “totally cordial, stable, and friendly” despite their separation.

The fact that Guardiola and Serra were recently spotted in Barcelona going to the theater with one of their daughters made this clear. The pair has allegedly pledged to keep up their good relationship and support their family.

Guardiola’s personal life story has been heavily influenced by his connection with Serra, which started long before he became well-known as a football manager. The mutual respect and affection they have shown guarantees that their attention stays on family and shared experiences, even though their union is ending with this separation.

Guardiola’s life now has a more personal aspect as he continues to guide Manchester City both on and off the field.
