Rafael Nadal Spotted on Ibiza Yacht Teaching Son to Swim

Retired Spanish tennis champion Rafael Nadal was photographed on his yacht in the Mediterranean off Ibiza, enjoying family time with his wife Mery Perelló and their four‑year‑old son Rafael Jr. Both father and son wore matching blue swim shorts while Nadal guided his child through diving and swimming drills.

Having retired after the 2024 Davis Cup final, Nadal now focuses on his Rafa Nadal Academy, the Rafael Nadal Foundation, and his hospitality brand ZEL. He frequently travels with his family, having visited the Bahamas, Japan and other locations, and has said fatherhood is "one of the best things in life," balancing morning work with afternoons spent with his children.
