Reflecting on the family’s four years in London, she posted on Instagram that she does not know how to explain to their three children that Chelsea is no longer part of their lives.

She noted that they arrived in London with two babies and are leaving with three children (two boys and a British girl), making it particularly difficult to explain the sudden move.

“I don’t know how to say goodbye to my home,” Rodríguez wrote.

In a lengthy post, she reflected on the family’s journey since arriving in England and the experiences they shared during Cucurella’s time at Brighton and Chelsea.

“Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this experience,” she said.
