Rafael Nadal commented the news of his wife Mery Perello's pregnancy for the first time earlier this week.

Speaking at a press conference in Mallorca on Friday, the 36-year-old touched upon his family's joy after being congratulated.

"If all goes well, I'm going to be a father," he told, according to HELLO! "I'm not used to talking about my private life. We live calmer with a lower profile. I don't expect that my life will change much with it."
