Rafael Nadal Baptizes Son Despite Atheist Beliefs
In 2022, Rafael Nadal welcomed his first child, Rafael Nadal Jr., with his wife, Xisca. Despite declaring himself an atheist, the 22-time Grand Slam champion recently took a significant religious step by baptizing his son into Catholicism.
Nadal, who has often expressed his atheist beliefs, set them aside for the ceremony held last Sunday in Crist Rei Church, Mallorca. The event took place shortly after Nadal's exit from the French Open and was a private affair with only close family members in attendance. Nadal chose to keep the ceremony intimate, hiring just a photographer to capture the special moments.
Rafael Nadal Jr., who has already accompanied his father to tournaments like the Madrid Open, was baptized in the presence of his family. This move by Nadal has surprised many, given his outspoken atheist views, highlighting a personal and poignant moment for the tennis legend and his family.
