The couple first met when an 18-year-old Pep went to a fashion store owned by Cristina's family to model some outfits by Spanish designer Antonio Miro.
MANCHESTER CITY boss Pep Guardiola and his estranged wife Cristina Serra have begun divorce proceedings - and are even using the same lawyer.
Pep's extraordinarily rare "one couple, one lawyer" divorce means the formal end of their marriage will not be contested by either side.
She told Spanish TV programme 'Y Ahora Sonsoles' the couple split after Pep signed a two-year extension at the Etihad to keep him at City until 2027.
Meanwhile, Pep established himself as one of the best midfielders of his generation, winning multiple titles with Barcelona's first team, before entering management.
