Rocio Munoz Morales has never disclosed publicly father’s illness, who lived in Spain.

The couple has two daughters: Luna and Almawho are now eight and five years old respectively. Rocio and Bova are not yet married.

“He has to ask me, I am a traditional woman and I await a request,” Rocío Muñoz Morales declared in an old interview. Then it was Raoul Bova himself, seventeen years older, who opened a window on the wedding: “Maybe I’ll surprise you when you least expect it. Io i believe in marriagebut above all in love… A union cemented by two daughters is profound, it means getting married in the heart”.
