"The Gasol family is growing! We've signed a new rookie!" That's how Pau Gasol (44) and his wife, Cat McDonnell (35), announced the arrival of their third child. Since their marriage in 2019, first in San Francisco and then in Ampurdán, the couple has shown and proven that they are as happy as the first day, a feeling that increased exponentially after the birth of their two children, Elisabet Gianna (3) and Max, just over a year old. As expected, they have received numerous congratulations, including from Andre Agassi, Marc Bartra, and Luis Figo.
Based on the photos they have been sharing on their social media, the parents have been showing how much the little ones have been growing, always with a smile on their faces. Just like Shakira and Piqué (37) decided from the beginning, the Gasol-McDonnell family prefers not to pixelate their descendants.
The family splits their time between the United States and Barcelona, although they spend more time in the Catalan city. Their residence, located in the exclusive district of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, is a multi-story mansion, very bright, with an eclectic decoration, cozy corners, predominantly white color scheme, and a spacious chill-out terrace. In the living room, the standout piece is the huge custom-made sofa, measuring 215 cm. The house can be seen in the documentary Pau Gasol: Lo importante es el viaje (Prime Video).
Since becoming popular through sacrifice and hard work, the former Los Angeles Lakers player has tried to keep his private life away from the spotlight. Initially, the athlete kept his relationship with Cat a secret, but they made it official in 2016. Beautiful, intelligent, and lover of simple things in life, Gasol's wife graduated cum laude from the prestigious University of Southern California, where Steven Spielberg, Tom Selleck, and Will Ferrell also studied.
The Catalan center made history in the NBA alongside his close friend Kobe Bryant, winning two rings with the Lakers. When it was time to say goodbye, the California team retired his jersey with the number 16, granting him immortality and ensuring that no other player could wear the same number.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Pau's fortune is estimated at $120 million, which he has wisely invested in sports and wellness-related companies like Overtime and Therabody. Additionally, he is actively involved in philanthropic work with organizations such as Unicef, Doctors Without Borders, and other NGOs that help alleviate malnutrition in the Horn of Africa.
