This past January, it was reported that the duo had initiated divorce proceedings after being together for 30 years. Reports suggested the split was amicable, with both parties aiming for a friendly separation for the sake of their three children. It is believed that the initial divorce was sparked by Guardiola’s decision to extend his contract with Manchester City till 2027, straining their relationship further as Serra had returned to Barcelona in 2019 with one of their children. Despite the separation, there have now been reports of the couple trying to reconcile, and they may be considering a possible U-turn on the divorce.
