Patricia Noarbe: Marcos Llorente's Wife, Age and Daughter
Paddy Noarbe has been with Marcos Llorente since 2013 and married him in Mallorca in 2023. Her age, Oxford birth, book, businesses and daughter Amor.
Patricia "Paddy" Noarbe is the wife of Marcos Llorente, the Atlético Madrid player who won the 2026 World Cup with Spain. The couple have been together since 2013, married in Mallorca on 30 June 2023, and their daughter Amor was born in February 2025.
Paddy is not just "the footballer's wife". Born in 1996, she is a fitness entrepreneur with her own training company, a sportswear brand and a self-help book, and she has around 318,000 followers on Instagram. As of November 2026, her husband is 31 and still playing for Atlético, two months after retiring from the Spanish national team. Older articles, including an earlier version of this one, still call her his girlfriend or fiancée: that is out of date, and below you will find what is actually documented about her, updated for November 2026.
Who is Marcos Llorente's wife?
Marcos Llorente is married to Patricia Noarbe, known to everyone as Paddy. They met as teenagers at school. Paddy has said their first real conversation started when Marcos lent her a philosophy book, and the daily chats that followed led to their first date. In her 2023 wedding interview with the Spanish magazine ¡Hola!, she explained that the wedding fell on the tenth anniversary of their first kiss, in June 2013. She also told the magazine that she knew straight away he was the love of her life, and that she still felt the same ten years later.
They have been through every stage of his career together: the Real Madrid academy, his loan at Alavés, the Champions League years at Real Madrid and his move across the city to Atlético in 2019. Spanish Wikipedia also dates their relationship to 2013.
The proposal at the Metropolitano
Llorente proposed in July 2021, on the pitch of Atlético's stadium, then called the Wanda Metropolitano (Spanish Wikipedia gives the date as 17 July 2021). Paddy thought she was going to a small tribute the club had arranged for Marcos. A reporter interviewed her about supporting him through the season, then a video of his best moments was played, followed by a second video telling their love story that ended with the big question. Marcos then got down on one knee. She said yes, and Marcos posted the moment on Instagram with the caption "No existe mejor compañera de vida", Spanish for "there is no better life partner".
The wedding in Mallorca
Marcos Llorente and Paddy Noarbe married on 30 June 2023 in Mallorca, after ten years together. The celebrations lasted three days at La Fortalesa de Albercutx (often written La Fortaleza) in Pollença, a 17th-century fortress estate overlooking the sea, with a pre-wedding party, the ceremony and a pool party. At the pre-wedding party the guests wore white while Paddy and Marcos both dressed in red, a nod to Atlético's colours. Her wedding dress was made by the Spanish bridal house Jesús Peiró.
According to ¡Hola!, her father and his mother were the padrinos, the parents who accompany the couple at a Spanish wedding, and the guest list included Álvaro Morata, Antoine Griezmann, Koke and Marco Asensio. Several of those players were at the wedding with their own partners: you can read about Koke's wife Beatriz Espejel, Antoine Griezmann's wife Erika Choperena and Sandra Garal, Marco Asensio's ex-wife, who married Asensio at the same fortress a week later, on 7 July 2023. They announced their separation in June 2024.
The Spanish sports paper MARCA published this short news report on the three days of celebrations, naming teammates such as Morata, Koke and Mario Hermoso among the guests:
One of the most moving moments was a poem written for the couple by one of Paddy's sisters, called "La forma de quererte". Paddy later shared it on Instagram, set over black and white footage from the day:
Who is Patricia Noarbe?
Patricia Noarbe is a Spanish-based fitness entrepreneur, author and influencer. On Instagram she calls herself Paddy - Charlotte, and her publisher presents her as Paddy-Charlotte Noarbe. She holds degrees in Law and in Business Administration and Management (a double degree; the Spanish news site ESdiario names the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid, while The Objective names the Universidad Carlos III).
Her interest in fitness began, as she told ¡Hola! in 2022, when she followed an American diet and training plan that helped her so much that she wanted to share it. That became her job. Her Instagram bio in November 2026 describes her as a mum, an author and a voice for conscious health and self-love, without guilt or extremes.
Patricia Noarbe age and birthday
Patricia Noarbe was born in 1996 in Oxford, England, according to the author biography published by her Spanish publisher, Espasa. ¡Hola! reported on 7 September 2026 that she had just turned 30, so Paddy Noarbe is 30 years old as of November 2026. She is a year or so younger than Marcos, who was born on 30 January 1995.
Many websites give her exact birthday as 8 August 1996. We could not confirm that date in any reliable source, so treat it as unverified.
The same goes for her height and weight. The figures you will see online (including the 165 cm that this article used to print) come without any source, so we have removed them.
Patricia Noarbe origin and nationality
Paddy was born in Oxford, in England, but she has lived in Spain since at least her school years, when she met Marcos. She writes and works in Spanish, her book was published in Spain, and she is based in Madrid, where their daughter was born. We could not find an interview in which she talks about her nationality or about why she was born in England.
Patricia Noarbe family
Paddy shares little about her family beyond family moments on Instagram, and the Spanish press coverage we found does not name her parents. According to The Objective, she has three sisters, who sat in the front row at her wedding with her mother. One of them, as mentioned above, wrote and read the poem at her wedding.
Her father was very important to her. He walked her down the aisle at her wedding in June 2023, and in January 2024 Paddy shared on Instagram that he had died, after years of illness. In the tribute she wrote that he had won many battles and taught the family something in each of them.
Marcos Llorente and Paddy Noarbe's daughter, Amor
Marcos Llorente and Paddy Noarbe have one child, a daughter called Amor, which means "love" in Spanish. Spanish media reported the pregnancy in September 2024, and Amor was born in Madrid in mid-February 2025 (¡Hola! says Valentine's Day). She turns two in February 2027.
A week after the birth, Paddy thanked her midwife and the medical team on Instagram, and joked that one of the staff had made Marcos a gynaecologist for a day. She wrote that giving life with her favourite person had made her the happiest woman in the world.
Back in 2023, Paddy had told ¡Hola! that they wanted children and had even designed their new home with them in mind, but planned to enjoy married life alone for a while first. In August 2026, after the World Cup, ¡Hola! published photos of the three of them on holiday in Marbella, building sandcastles on the beach.
Paddy Noarbe's career: Paddyness, Boddy and her book
Paddy has built three projects of her own:
- Paddyness: an online training and nutrition company that she founded in 2019, according to her publisher, offering personalised workout and meal plans.
- Boddy: her own sportswear brand, launched in spring 2022. She told ¡Hola! she started it because she struggled to find gym sets that were both comfortable and flattering.
- Aún no sabes lo que vales ("You don't know your worth yet"): a self-help book about self-esteem and personal growth, published by Espasa on 8 February 2023.
In this post she credited the Paddyness training and nutrition plans for getting her into her best shape, inside and out:
Her feed mixes workouts, recipes, travel and, since 2025, motherhood. She also posts short messages about generosity and self-care, like this one:

Marcos Llorente in 2026: World Cup, Spain retirement and Anfield again
Llorente was named in Spain's World Cup squad on 25 May 2026. He played three games, two as a starter, and set up Álex Baena's goal against Uruguay in the group stage. Spain beat Argentina 1-0 after extra time in the final on 19 July 2026 at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, with the winning goal scored by Ferran Torres. Paddy was in the stands to support him.
After the tournament, Llorente celebrated in Ibiza with Spain teammates including Ferran Torres, Lamine Yamal and Mikel Oyarzabal. Photos of Llorente and Torres being affectionate drew a lot of comments online. Paddy then posted a message about relationships built on freedom rather than control, and Marcos replied "Amén". A day or two later, in a Q&A with his followers, Llorente said he was surprised that in 2026 two men showing each other affection still caused debate. The family then finished the summer in Marbella.
On 3 September 2026, aged 31, Llorente announced on Instagram that he was retiring from the Spanish national team, calling it a personal, carefully considered decision. Paddy answered with a long open letter and a photo album covering his Spain years, from his first under-21 call-up in June 2017 to the World Cup final. He replied that he was grateful life had let her be the one to live it all with him.
He is still an Atlético Madrid player as of November 2026, under a contract that runs until June 2027. Since September 2026, Spanish media have reported talks over an extension. On 9 September 2026 he scored again at Anfield, although Liverpool came back to win 2-1. Gulf News pointed out that he now has five Champions League goals at Anfield, and that days after his famous double there in 2020 he introduced a new dog named Anfield.
Patricia Noarbe net worth
There is no reliable figure for Patricia Noarbe's net worth. The numbers on gossip sites are guesses, and she has not made her earnings public. What is documented is that she owns a training business and a clothing brand, and has published a book.
Marcos Llorente's salary is not published by Atlético either, so the net worth and weekly wage figures that circulate online (including the ones that used to appear on this page) should be treated as estimates, not facts.
