Rafael Nadal is a small-town boy with small, but significant dreams. "I want a family," he admits. Rafael Nadal has been dating his girlfriend Maria Francisca Perello for over eight years now. Could it be true that he's now engaged to Xisca? Does the couple have wedding plans after Wimbledon 2014?

Engagement and wedding plans may explain Maria Francisca 'Xisca' Perello's absence from the first few rounds of Wimbledon 2014. If the 24-year-old bride-to-be has to prepare for the wedding, it's no big deal missing a few beginning matches that Rafael Nadal will cruise past!

Rafael Nadal does look like he will make a great husband. He captioned a picture of himself in the kitchen, "Cooking dinner after a long day of training and preparing for tomorrow!"

According to a previous article, Maria Francisca Perello is not the typical girlfriend to a rich athlete that one might expect. Nadal and Maria come from the same small town called Manacor in Majorca Island off the eastern coast of Spain. She has been described as "a straightforward no-nonsense girl not interested in glamour and fame."

Xisca has been so private with her affairs that no paparazzi has been able to snap a picture of her engagement ring.

Daily Mail reports Pedro Hernadez speaking about Rafael Nadal and Maria Francisca Perello's relationship: "They are not at all interested in a celebrity lifestyle. They get together when the tournaments are over. That's how Raf winds down.

"Raf and Xisca are both very shy and ordinary people who like to live simply."

Nadal definitely has the family-man thing going for him in this video that he uploaded on Facebook. He gets down and dirty playing a friendly soccer match with his cousins. Looks like he'll make a great father!

While Nadal is busy winning Grand Slams, Maria Francisca Perello seems satisfied being the supportive girlfriend. Engagement and wedding is only a matter of time for these lovebirds!
