I recently saw some friends discussing Xavi’s family life. As a fan who has lived in Barcelona for many years and is familiar with the wife of Spanish football star Raúl, I want to share some true stories about Nuria, Xavi’s wife. Honestly, this woman is truly remarkable and silently supports the entire family.
About Nuria
Nuria Cunade was born in 1980, one year younger than Xavi. She is not from any famous family but is a very ordinary Spanish girl. They met in 2003 through friends who are wives of Spanish football players. At that time, Xavi was still a substitute player at Barça. To be honest, it’s quite romantic; they felt a strong connection the first time they met.
Nuria studied journalism and worked for a media company in Catalonia after graduation. She has always kept a low profile, and even after Xavi became famous, she rarely appeared in public. This is relatively rare in the Spanish football community where many players’ wives like to be in the spotlight.
Moments in Married Life
In July 2013, they held a grand wedding in Barcelona. Many Barça players attended, including Iniesta and Puyol, to congratulate them. Nuria wore a simple and elegant white wedding dress and looked especially gentle. Friends who attended said Nuria cried heavily that day, which was very touching.
In married life, Nuria took on most of the family responsibilities. She not only took care of Xavi’s daily life but also handled various household chores. Xavi often had to travel for matches for several days, so Nuria was really working hard alone at home.

Challenges of Parenting
The couple now has two children: their elder daughter Asia was born in 2016 and their younger son Dan in 2019. Nuria is very dedicated to parenting. She insists on giving the children a normal childhood. Although Xavi is wealthy, Nuria does not let the children get exposed to luxury too early.
According to friends, Nuria often takes the kids to the park to play, just like an ordinary Spanish mother. She hopes her children will speak fluent Catalan and Spanish, so she specifically hired teachers to teach them. Currently, Xavi is coaching in Qatar, and the whole family has moved to Doha. Nuria has had to adapt to the new environment, which is truly not easy.
Nuria is an amazing woman. She supports Xavi’s career in her own way while maintaining her independence. In the fast-paced world of football, finding such a partner is really lucky. What do you think?
