Marc Cucurella's girlfriend Claudia Rodriguez has opened the challenges with which they merge their autistic child.
In the last season of married, the couple plays with the game, which looks out in the lives of the women and girlfriends of leading Premier League footballers.
The will of Jorginho, Leon Bailey and Riyad Mahrez also estimate in the show in addition to their partners, but it is the story of Cucurella and Rodriguez that pulls the hearts.
The couple met when they were teenagers and since then formed an inseparable bond and have three children – Mateo, Rio and Bella.
The eldest son Mateo, four, was diagnosed with autism and during the show Rodriguez opened the challenges with which the couple had to do.
In the show, broadcast on April 8, she said: 'We saw something else in Mateo when he was small, about 13 months old, but it was a long process to get the diagnosis. When he was smaller, it was easier, but now he is growing up, it's more difficult.
'When we moved to Chelsea, we started him at school and he was very upset and we did not know the solution. You have to find it yourself, and you feel very bad because you are not prepared for it.
'You prepared to become a mother, but not to be a mother of an autistic child, so you feel bad. It was very, very difficult to see him like that, so upset, and we just tried to find the best solution.
'I told Marc that we had to find a special school for him because he was not learning, he did not enjoy his life. I didn't want to lose anymore, we had to do something.
“So I found a great place in London where they understood him and they understood his needs, so we completely changed him there and our lives changed. At first I drove him there from our house in Cobham, but it was two o'clock to drive in the morning and two more hours to pick it up again. I was in the car all day.
“Then we had a robbery in that house and I decided I didn't want to go there, so we moved to London and that made it easier to go to his school.”
When asked how Mateo is how it is now, she said: 'He is good, he sometimes says a few words, repeats them and we just work on it. You never know what the future will entail for him, but we are working on it.
“I don't know if he will speak or not. I know nothing, but we try to do everything for him. I went to Madrid a week ago to do some tests, we try to find solutions all day long, and that is the best we can do. '
Finally, talking about the aforementioned robbery, Rodriguez said: 'Marc was upstairs in the shower in Mateo, I was pregnant with Bella and I went to my room to get the milk bottle for Rio, I had it on my hip.
'When I went to my room, I saw two doors closed and the light in the sideboard and it just didn't look good. It is not how we usually leave it. I opened the door and saw someone in it with a bag and looked at me.
“And at that moment I fully understood what happened. I was terrified – very, very scared. You know, I was pregnant and with two children in the house.
'I went down to press the panic button and I screamed to come to Marc. We waited in the laundry room and called the police, called everyone to help us, and it was terrifying.
'It was very difficult to even sleep in the coming months, the following months. I couldn't go anywhere alone. I always needed someone. I would say, “Can you go to my room with me?” '
Married to the game is exclusively available on Prime Video on April 8.
