Cristina Serra has reportedly broken her silence following reports that her marriage to Pep Guardiola is over.
Cristina Serra, the former wife of Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, has spoken out for the first time since news of their shocking split broke.
Despite swirling speculation about the reasons behind their separation, the 52-year-old fashion entrepreneur has reportedly insisted she is doing just fine.
Daily Mail reports Cristina was recently spotted shopping alone in Barcelona.
Dressed casually in white trainers, grey trousers, and a cream coat paired with a designer handbag, she smiled when approached by reporters.
Speaking to a Spanish journalist, Cristina replied confidently, “Perfecta, gracias” (Perfect, thanks), adding, “Everything’s fine.”
However, she declined to comment on claims that Guardiola’s recent contract extension with Manchester City, which will keep him in England until 2027, was the cause of their split.
The Man City coach and his ex-wife Cristina Serra reportedly quit on their 10-year marriage having dated for 20 years.
How Guardiola’s contract extension reportedly ended his 30-year love story with Cristina Serra
The couple’s separation, after nearly three decades together and a decade of marriage, was first reported by Spanish showbiz journalists Lorena Vazquez and Laura Fa.
According to their sources, Cristina reportedly made the decision to end the relationship following Guardiola’s U-turn on plans to leave Manchester City.
Initially, Pep had prepared to step down from his managerial role and relocate, which seemed to align with Cristina’s wishes.
However, his decision to remain with the Premier League champions until 2027 reportedly strained their relationship further.
The former couple, who share three children, have maintained a cordial relationship, and Spanish media confirm there is no third party involved in the split despite rumours of alleged infidelity.
Cristina moved back to Barcelona in 2019 to focus on her business interests while Pep stayed in England, often travelling between the two cities.
Why Pep Guardiola could lose half of his $126 million fortune to Cristina Serra following their separation
Cristina’s decision to continue living her life as usual, including spending time outside her £8.4 million home in Pedralbes, suggests she is determined to move forward independently.
However, in the event that the pair legally divorce, Cristina would be entitled to half of Guardiola’s $126 million net worth.
His $126 million wealth extends far beyond his salary, encompassing an impressive real estate portfolio, luxury cars, and lucrative investments.
Under Spanish law, communal assets are typically divided equally between the spouses upon divorce.
However, assets owned individually before the marriage, as well as inheritances or gifts received by one spouse during the marriage, remain that spouse’s separate property.
Despite the financial stakes, Guardiola and Serra’s split has been described as “friendly.”
The couple reportedly spent the recent Christmas holidays together, though tensions remained.
It has also been suggested that both parties are open to reconciliation in the future, leaving the door ajar for a potential reunion.
