They eventually tied the knot in 2014 after a long courtship. Together, they have three children: Maria (24), Marius (22), and Valentina (17).
According to Goal, Guardiola and Serra have decided to separate but are maintaining a cordial relationship.
They reportedly informed close friends and family of their decision and spent Christmas together with their children.
In 2019, it was reported that Serra had returned to Barcelona with one of their children to focus on her fashion business, while Guardiola stayed in Manchester.
Despite splitting their time between Barcelona and London, the couple remained in contact.
However, they have now agreed to officially go their separate ways.
Guardiola will look to focus on Manchester City’s on-field performance as his team faces Brentford this week.
Currently sitting sixth in the Premier League table, City will be aiming to climb back into contention as Guardiola navigates this personal and professional transition.
Man City Faces Uncertainty Over Kyle Walker
Meanwhile, Manchester City has regained momentum with three consecutive wins across all competitions, following a rough patch that derailed their title defence.
However, the club may face a major setback as captain Kyle Walker appears poised to leave the Etihad.
Walker, who has reportedly attracted interest from AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Saudi Arabian clubs, could depart during the ongoing transfer window.
Addressing the situation, Pep Guardiola admitted uncertainty about Walker’s future, stating via Mirror Sports:
"I don't know if he will play for City again. It depends on how we train and, ultimately, on him."
Guardiola praised Walker’s exceptional abilities, describing him as "unstoppable as a right-back" when focused and fit. He added:
"Kyle is an incredible player with unparalleled physicality. If he's in top condition, he could continue playing at the highest level for several more years."
While the decision ultimately lies with Walker and the club, Guardiola acknowledged the complexity of the situation:
"If he wants to explore a move, the club will explore the possibility. It’s not my decision; it’s his and the club’s.".
As City navigate this potential departure, City fans await clarity on Walker’s future while the team continues its pursuit of success this season.
