Even rumours suggest that King Felipe had once requested a signed Spanish jersey in a youth size as a gift for his daughter, Princess Leonor. Reports also suggest that friends had noticed that Princess Leonor had a folder of Gavi's photos on display in her school folder at Atlantic College, Wales.

Ana Pelayo
: The Dream Breaker
Ana Pelayo turned out to be a dream breaker for the Princess of Spain. The 22-year-old student is reportedly dating Gavi. It was further confirmed when, after Barcelona's victory in winning the La Liga Cup, Ana Pelayo was seen by his side. Reportedly, both clicked selfies and Gavi introduced her to his inner circle.
Ana Pelayo has 270k Instagram followers on her Insta account, where she regularly posts content related to fashion and lifestyle.
But she has kept her private life a mystery. However, post-match celebrations have confirmed that the two youngsters are dating each other.
Barcelona star Gavi has gone public with his girlfriend Ana Pelayo, just as rumors of a royal crush from Princess Leonor resurfaced.
Gavi silences
During this entire event, Gavi has remained silent and has not issued any public statement or cryptic social media post. His actions have spoken louder than his words. By displaying his affection towards Ana Pelayo in the post-match celebration, he confirmed their relationship. Ana Pelayo has been instrumental during his knee injury, which kept him out of the field for 10 months. Reportedly, during this time, they have become closer than ever.
With these actions, Gavi seems to point toward a life built on his own terms — not fairytales, not headlines, and certainly not for royal status.
