In the "Big Four Era", every move of the four players was carefully studied under the spotlight, and there were almost no secrets in and out of life.
Naturally, their partners are no exception, living in the limelight all year round and playing different important roles in their lives.
However, compared with other partners of the Big Three, Nadal's girlfriend Perillo is very, very low-key, almost invisible in front of the media cameras.
Perillo and Nadal's sister Isabel are childhood friends. They have known each other since they were seven years old, including Nadal of course, but at that time they were just childhood friends.
In 2005, Nadal and Perello held hands to confirm their relationship, and they were officially engaged in 2007. At that time, Nadal was 21 years old and Perello was 19 years old.
However, it wasn't until 2010 at Wimbledon that Perello appeared in Nadal's player's box for the first time. This was discovered by the media and the relationship was confirmed.
From the very beginning, Nadal has never had any scandals, and there are not many social activities outside the court. After the relationship is confirmed, it is more stable, long-distance running all the way, love is stronger than gold, accompanied by Nadal's injuries and career The trough, this relationship has withstood all tests.
However, for the media, there is really a lack of hot spots and nothing to report.
Since the establishment of a relationship in 2005, Perillo has only accepted one public media interview; except for appearing in Nadal's player box during the Grand Slam, he did not follow Nadal to participate in global competitions at other times. He was too low-key. So much so that the media made an oolong—
For a long, long time, the media always called Perillo "Xisca", but in fact, no one in the Nadal family has ever called Perillo that way, and people close to him always call him affectionately. She is "Mery", however no one has ever corrected the media.
reason?
It's very simple, the media called it wrong, just right, in this way, all reports will not disturb the lives of Nadal and Perello, which is perfect.
While Nadal is playing around the world, Perello has a job and a career.
Perillo is responsible for the operation of the Nadal Foundation, which specializes in helping vulnerable children and has a global footprint.
Usually, Perillo is always busy with work. He is an iconic white-collar worker and does not revolve around Nadal. Even Nadal’s celebration parties and social occasions are almost absent. In addition, he does not have a personal social network account, so There is no sense of presence in public.
When Gao Wen learned that it was Perello's idea, the surprise and surprise were even more violent than just now.
After several short meetings and personal friendships with Nadal, Gao Wen has clearly realized that Nadal is a very, very private player.
Although he knows that as a public figure, it is almost impossible to completely separate life and work, but he has been doing his best to protect his family and his own life, avoid being completely involved in it, and finally lose himself.
It is precisely because of this that when talking about personal privacy, Nadal is always very cautious; in addition, he does not have Federer's eloquence, so when talking about these issues, he is inevitably cautious and shy, more or less uncomfortable. comfortable.
So far, Gao Wen and Nadal's sister Isabel have met several times.
Because Isabel works in Nadal's public relations team, her extroverted personality is filled with the enthusiasm and liveliness of the Spaniards. There is no need for Gao Wen to say hello. , which broke down social barriers.
Later, Gao Wen learned that Isabel's close friends and family members often called her "Maribel", which was a combination of her first name and middle name, which seemed unique and intimate.
Most importantly, there is a tidbit behind it—
Maribel teased secretly half-jokingly, "There's no way, we have too many Marias in our family. In order to distinguish them, I had to sacrifice myself."
"Shh, this matter is a secret, and Rafa must never know about it." After finishing speaking, Maribel asked Gao Wen to keep it secret.
Regardless of whether the matter is true or not, from Gao Wen's point of view, it should be just a joke, but it can be felt that Nadal is very protective of his family and privacy, and does his best to prevent them from being harmed, and to protect their privacy. Personal life should not be affected.
So, imagine Gawain's shock and surprise when Nadal said it was Perello's idea.
Sensing Gao Wen's gaze, Nadal couldn't help shaking his head slightly, his face full of helplessness, "I knew it, if I said that, you would have such an expression."
Gao Wen showed an innocent expression, "What's wrong with me? My expression is very sincere, okay? Rafa, I was born with this look, you can't be like this."
Nadal was amused by Gawain's words, while shaking his head, he raised his hand and nodded Gawain, "You know that's not what I meant."
Gao Wen didn't continue to talk poorly, but pretended to be listening attentively, and his eager expression sent out a signal: What exactly does that mean?
Nadal opened his mouth, was speechless, and finally sighed, "You should partner with Roger on a talk show."
"Haha!" Gawain burst out laughing.
Later, it was Maribel who gave Gawain the answer—
Originally, Nadal planned to drive himself and **** Gao Wen and his party to the residence. They arranged a single-family villa for Gao Wen instead of a hotel.
But obviously, the lineup of Gao Wen and his party slightly exceeded expectations, so they had to adjust their plans.
Fortunately, as a public relations officer, Maribel didn't panic in the face of unexpected situations. She temporarily mobilized the vehicle and quickly solved the problem smoothly.
A total of two cars left the airport and went to the destination.
Just got in the car—
"You should have notified me in advance."
Marybelle was still more outgoing, quick to speak, and rolled her eyes at Gawain bluntly.
"It's really rude of us not to prepare for the arrival of a distinguished guest. God, you didn't even think to say hello to Steffy coming with you?"
As soon as she raised her hand, Marybelle punched Gao Wen in the arm~www.mtlnovel.com~ and showed off her fist triumphantly, and maintained her "weapon" with breath and wipe.
"Oh!" Gao Wen shouted exaggeratedly on purpose, "Is it really okay to welcome visitors to Mallorca one second, and treat guests like this the next?"
"Marybell!" Nadal scolded in a low voice.
Just like the obsessive-compulsive style on the court, Nadal in life is the same. Even if he is joking, he often attaches great importance to boundaries and proportions, and maintains politeness and demeanor at all times.
Marybelle didn't dare to talk back to her brother, she turned her head to look at Gawain, and silently protested with her mouth, "Look!"
Gao Wen raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, as if someone pointed a gun at his forehead, and the innocent expression on his face was very joyful.
Not to mention Maribel, even Nadal couldn't hold back when he saw this scene in the rearview mirror, and burst out laughing.
