Marriage
Elena is currently married to Luis, and their marriage spans many years. They tied the knot in 1997 and have remained together since then, displaying a steadfast bond and supporting each other at various events.
The couple shares three children: Xana Martinez, Sira Martinez, and Pacho Martinez. Sira, following in her family’s sporting interests, finds joy in horseback riding. Pacho works as an auditor in Catalonia’s capital; although he used to have an interest in soccer during his younger days, he has since shifted to boxing. Unfortunately, Xana is no longer with us.
Death of a daughter
At the age of nine, Xana passed away after battling osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer that affects bone development. Despite her courageous fight against cancer for five months, it was a challenging and distressing period for the entire family.

The loss was especially devastating for Elena, who mourned the loss of her young daughter, causing immense anguish. The news deeply affected those close to them, prompting numerous clubs and teams worldwide to pay tribute to the family. Xana was a regular presence at her father’s team’s games and had formed friendships with other players’ children. Sadly, she passed away in August 2018.
Following the death of Xana Enrique

However, following Xana’s death, Sira gained a new perspective, recognizing that people face far more significant challenges in life than the minor grievances she used to dwell on. This realization led her to reevaluate life and adopt a new outlook.
