I know it's stunning that a popular, young, sports superstar with a lot of money would have an attractive girlfriend, but I'm just doing my job.

Rafael Nadal has tried to keep his romance with girlfriend Maria Francesca "Xisca" Perello very secretive, which we respect, except these darn Internets can't help but post pictures of hot girlfriends and therefore I must follow suit. By the way, when you're really hot in Spain, you get to add extra a few extra names and make up something sexy like "Xisca," so I'm told.

Guanabe shares the romantic intersection of paths:

In a story full of butterflies and ponies farting rainbows, Nadal and “Xisca,” a 20-year-old college student, met through his sister, Isabel. Xisca is quite close to the entire Nadal family - particularly with Rafael’s grandmother. Everyone, together now: Awww!

Apparently, being Rafael’s “secret girlfriend” is not a problem for Xisca, who prefers to remain out of the limelight...

Seeing as how we're bludgeoned on a daily, if not hourly, basis with the lives of the Rodriguezes, it's refreshing that a star athlete would opt for a low profile relationship.

It's also refreshing that a European athlete also opts for the natural looking beauty, instead of, you know, his soccer peers.

So congrats to you, Rafael, on your championship and your other 'ship. We promise to keep the Xisca pictures to a minimum, but apologize in advance when each of your upcoming titles are accompanied by more pics.
