How did she meet her future husband?
Maria-Rosario met her future husband Fernando Gonzalez at a tavern that Fernando's father used to run. She used to work there as a chef.
They eventually hooked up and later got married.
Together, they gave birth to their two sons, the eldest Fernando Jr., and Pedri who was born Pedro Gonzalez Lopez.
They initially resided in Bajamar, Tenerife, Canary Islands where both of their sons were born but later moved to the nearby town, Tegueste when Pedro was three.
Pedri's father asked him if he wanted to join football because his older brother had already said no.
He convinced his brother too and both started playing on the same team at UD Tegueste as a centre-back.
In an interview with Marca said he owes his family everything, especially for the values they have instilled in him since he was a child.
She and her husband run a restaurant
