Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola and his wife, Cristina Serra, have ended their marriage after three decades together.
According to a report by SPORT on Monday, the separation is “totally cordial, stable, and friendly.” The couple reportedly grew apart after living in different countries for several years due to Guardiola’s managerial career.
Guardiola and Serra, who met in 1994 and married in 2014 near Barcelona, have three children: Maria, 24, Marius, 22, and Valentina, 17. Serra has been residing in Barcelona with Valentina, while Guardiola continues to live in Manchester.
Serra, a Brazilian journalist, left Manchester in 2019 to focus on her family’s fashion business, Serra Claret. Despite the distance, she was occasionally seen with Guardiola at public events last year.

Meanwhile, Guardiola committed to a new two-year contract with Manchester City in November, extending his stay with the Premier League champions until 2027, countering earlier speculation about his potential departure.
