While Maria competed in tennis from a young age and has a limited profile on the ITF (International Tennis Federation) circuit, she has not pursued a career as a full-time professional on the WTA Tour. Maria recently completed a bilingual law degree at the University of Murcia in 2025. In mid-2025, Maria publicly celebrated her graduation and transition into a career as a lawyer. She is active on Instagram and TikTok, with thousands of followers on both platforms. Maria maintains a very private profile and keeps her love life out of the public eye.

He shared that his demanding professional tennis career and travel schedule make a stable relationship difficult to maintain. Alcaraz has mentioned that his focus is primarily on his career and building his legacy, which requires constant travel and makes it challenging to find the right person to share his life with.
