Sergio Ramos' wife Pilar Rubio has reportedly decided not to move to Mexico following her husband's surprise move to Monterrey on Friday.
The Spanish football legend signed a one-year contract with his new side after staying without a club for six months.
The 38-year-old centre back appeared last time on the pitch in May 2024, playing the entire game for Sevilla in a 2-1 home defeat to Barcelona in LaLiga.
For his new side, the Spaniard will wear the No 93, in a tribute to his iconic goal against rivals Atletico Madrid in the 2013-14 Champions League final.
However, according to Bild journalist Javi de Hoyos, Ramos' wife - famous TV presenter Pilar Rubio - has decided to stay in Spain for 'professional reasons'.
'Pilar Rubio will not move to Mexico with Sergio Ramos. Last Friday, someone close to Pilar told me that she was tired of moving,' said de Hoyos.
'She went to Paris with him, then Ramos went to Seville. Later, she decided to go to Madrid for professional reasons. She really likes living there.'
Rubio is a popular Spanish reporter, TV presenter and model. Her decision to remain in Spain might be related to the fact that she will participate as a judge in the weekly Antena 3 contest, El Desafio, and the fashion reality show Maestros de la Costura Celebrity.
De Hoyos added: 'When Ramos made this decision, she said: "This time I will not give in, I have already given in twice. Now I am staying here, in Madrid. The family is staying here, Sergio is going alone."
'She can no longer bear to have to move again.'
The couple started a relationship in 2012 and married seven years later. They have four children, Sergio Jr, Marco, Alejandro, and Maximo Adriano.
Ramos has constantly fought with injuries since his unexpected exit from Real Madrid, where he featured in 671 matches while scoring 101 goals.
He followed with a free transfer to Paris Saint-Germain in 2021, alongside Barcelona icon Lionel Messi with Gianluigi Donnarumma and Georginio Wijnaldum.
However, Ramos could not return to his top physical form and came back to his boyhood club Sevilla as they have struggled in recent seasons in LaLiga.
His new side Monterrey will be one of 32 teams to participate in this summer's FIFA Club World Cup in the USA.
They will compete in Group E alongside River Plate, Urawa Red Diamonds and Inter Milan.

This is normal, these wives aren't donkeys that wherever a player goes that she should follow. We need to put some respect on their feelings and life will be better. Some of our families are in Africa yet we hustle from Europe and life is very normal and enjoyable so long as it is not for eternity. When the contract expires, they will be together at some point. Ramos has gone to work and by the time work is done, he will meet the wife. But this business of toasting families wherever you go sometimes is annoying and hectic Shalom
