Ex-Sporting Star Pedro Porro Proposes to Girlfriend in Romantic Setting

Pedro Porro, the Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right-back for Tottenham Hotspur, is officially engaged to María Hurtado, according to reports published by Portuguese sports newspapers Record and A Bola on August 10, 2026. The proposal took place in a paradisiacal setting on the Turks and Caicos Islands, following Porro’s vacation after becoming a world champion and prior to his return to club duties in London.

The Romantic Proposal in Turks and Caicos

According to Record, the proposal was prepared down to the smallest detail by the former Sporting player. The beachside setup featured candles, flowers, and a large illuminated sign displaying the question “¿Quieres casarte conmigo?” (“Will you marry me?”). María Hurtado accepted the proposal, and the couple shared the news on social media platforms, with Hurtado displaying her engagement ring in the accompanying photographs. “She said yes! Our love, our family and now… our ‘forever,'” Porro wrote in his social media caption, as cited by both Record and A Bola.

Family Background and Public Relationship

The couple publicly confirmed their relationship at the beginning of 2024, according to reporting from A Bola. María Hurtado has a daughter named Carla, born in 2018 from a previous relationship, and she and Porro later welcomed a son together, also named Pedro. The family recently celebrated Porro’s world championship victory before the engagement took place during their island getaway.

Recent Media Attention and Past Sporting Context

In addition to his recent engagement, A Bola noted that Porro’s name drew significant media attention during the recent World Cup match between Portugal and Spain. That tournament meeting brought renewed public focus to a past incident involving Portuguese international João Félix and Portuguese actress Margarida Corceiro. In 2022, viral videos showed Porro—then representing Sporting—gifting his jersey to Corceiro after a match and embracing her at a nightclub, while Corceiro was still publicly linked to Félix.
