Career and background
Sanz’s modelling background is documented in contemporary wedding coverage. El País identified her as a model when reporting the couple’s marriage in 1999. She subsequently chose a much less public life; later profiles should not turn that past occupation into an unsupported present-day modelling or influencer business.Source: El País ↗
In a first-person podcast interview reported by ¡HOLA!, Raúl credited Sanz with the children’s education and the family’s stability during repeated international moves. Their years abroad followed his football career through Germany, Qatar and New York. The couple have continued to appear together at sporting and cultural events while keeping their everyday family life comparatively private.Source: ¡HOLA! ↗
