Who Is Pablo ‘Gavi’ Gavira’s Girlfriend? Inside the Spanish Soccer Star’s Love Life
What To Know
- Spanish soccer star Gavi is currently playing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
- He’s in a relationship with an influencer.
- The couple reportedly began dating years ago.
Gavi is making his mark at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Though in the last tournament, then-18-year-old Gavi became one of the youngest goal scorers in the history of the World Cup, this year is special because it’s part of his comeback from a recent injury. That’s why the midfielder had such a major reaction to being called up to the Spanish national team earlier this year.
Now 21 years old, the Barcelona player — whose full name is Pablo Martín Páez Gavira — has commanded attention on the world stage, helping his team progress through the group stage. As he shows off his skills on the field, you might’ve wondered about Gavi’s life off the field. Namely, if the midfielder has a girlfriend. Swooon has all the answers below.
Does Gavi have a girlfriend?
Gavi has indeed scored a girlfriend. He’s in a relationship with Ana Pelayo, who made headlines just ahead of the World Cup. When Barcelona became La Liga champions in May, Pelayo joined her boyfriend on the field to celebrate. She shared photos of the two of them in the aftermath on her Instagram, writing in the caption, “Starboy. Vamos!!!!”

How long have Gavi and Ana Pelayo been together?
Gavi met Pelayo through his sister, Aurora, according to the Daily Mail. They reportedly first started appearing together during the summer of 2024, which is around the same time that fans noticed Gavi leaving likes and flirty comments on her Instagram profile. Then, Pelayo also shared a photo with Gavi’s mother and sister on social media, the outlet reported.
According to reports, Gavi made his first public appearance with his girlfriend in October 2024. She attended Barcelona’s match against Sevilla, which is also when he returned to the game after being sidelined with an injury for almost a year. We’ll have to see if she makes an appearance as Spain progresses through the 2026 World Cup.
