Rafael Nadal has made headlines this week for reasons that reveal a new, more personal side as well as his ongoing influence beyond tennis. Just yesterday, Business Wire announced that Nadal will headline VTEX Connect Europe 2025 in Lisbon on November 11, joining the technology and commerce elite during Web Summit week. As the star attraction, Nadal is scheduled for an in-depth conversation about his entrepreneurial path in an AI-driven world, exploring the intersection of mastery from tennis and innovation in business. The event marks a notable transition—Nadal, now retired from professional play, is firmly establishing himself as an entrepreneur and thought leader, bringing his much-lauded precision and discipline from sport into the high-stakes world of enterprise commerce. His presence at VTEX Connect Europe is being positioned as a key highlight for that week in global business and technology.
Meanwhile, off the courts, it's his rare openness about family life that captivated media and fans around the globe. On October 14, multiple major outlets such as Euro Weekly News and Majorca Daily Bulletin reported that Nadal posted a heartfelt family photo on Instagram. The image, snapped during a relaxed holiday outing in Cala Bona, Mallorca, shows Nadal, his wife Mery Perelló, their three-year-old son Rafael Jr., and newborn Miquel—together for the first time in a public post. The photo, captioned simply Family time in Mallorca, has gone viral and earned an outpouring of affection. This marks the first public appearance of their newborn Miquel, born in August, whose name honors Perelló's late father, and also includes extended family such as Nadal's 94-year-old grandmother Isabel and his parents and sister.
The photo has sparked headlines not just for its warmth but for what it symbolizes: Nadal's embrace of a new chapter focused on home, family, and legacy. According to HOLA, the image also coincides with a string of milestones—Rafael Jr.'s third birthday and Nadal and Mery’s sixth wedding anniversary. Nadal’s pivot to hands-on fatherhood and philanthropy comes after his official retirement from tennis in late 2024, and he’s spoken openly about the grounding strength he finds in family. When pressed about his children’s future in sports, Nadal candidly said he will support any passion—tennis or not—marking a gentle rebellion against expectations.
In the past few days, Nadal’s public persona has blended sporting gravitas with genuine relatability. He is now as much a local hero in Mallorca as a global icon, offering fans not just a glimpse of his private joy but a preview of his next act as a business leader and family man. There have been no verified reports of injuries, controversies, or speculative comebacks—just a champion savoring new victories at work and at home.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
