Notably, Evert reacted to a Twitter feed, where a fan said that Nadal confirmed the news of becoming a father after his practice session. Also, the Spaniard posed for a few photos with fans afterward and some people congratulated him as well.
In 2019, Nadal and Perello tied the knot after dating for many years. Almost after three years, the pair is expecting their first child. However, we still did not get any confirmation from either Nadal or Perello. In the past, they mostly kept their relationships private, as this is probably another thing they want to keep private.
Nadal’s amazing run in 2022
Certainly, it has been a fantastic year for the great Spaniard both on and off the field. Earlier in the summer, Nadal came back to the Australian Open after a long layoff from his foot injury. Moreover, he shocked everyone after winning the Australian Open in an incredible way. Then, he was on a 20-match winning streak, which came to an end in the Indian Wells final at the hands of Taylor Fritz.
