Jesús de Miguel’s publicly identified partner was María, with whom he shared a daughter, Carla. CD Castellón’s June 2025 announcement of his fatherhood identified María as his partner. Interest in their family increased after CD Tenerife confirmed the striker’s death on November 3, 2026, following a collision during a match the previous evening.
Who Was Jesús de Miguel’s Girlfriend?
María was the partner named in the footballer’s public family announcement. Spanish reports consistently connect her with De Miguel and their daughter, while offering relatively little detail about her own background.
The word girlfriend appears frequently in English searches, but partner is the description supported by the club’s announcement. It recognises the relationship without making a separate claim about their legal marital status.
Her surname, occupation and a detailed account of how they met were not established in the reliable sources reviewed. Those gaps should not be filled by identifying an unrelated social-media user with the same first name.
The June 2025 Family Announcement
On June 30, 2025, CD Castellón congratulated De Miguel and María on becoming parents to Carla de Miguel Fernández. HOLA reproduced the substance of that club message in its November 2026 family profile.
That announcement is the clearest public link between the footballer, his partner and their child. It places the family milestone during his time at Castellón, shortly before his move to Tenerife.
The date of a club congratulation should not automatically be treated as a child’s exact date of birth. The central confirmed fact is that the club publicly celebrated the arrival of their daughter at the end of June.
The announcement also referred affectionately to the player as Demi, the nickname familiar to supporters. It provided a small personal moment within the otherwise sporting coverage of his career.
A Relationship Kept Largely Private
De Miguel’s public profile was built through football rather than regular interviews about his home life. Reporting about María mainly appeared in connection with fatherhood and the family’s loss.
That limited visibility does not mean the relationship was unimportant. It means the couple did not provide a detailed public narrative of it, including a dating anniversary or a complete relationship timeline.
Supporters can acknowledge that María was his partner without claiming access to their private conversations, financial arrangements or plans. Those are different subjects from the family details they chose to share.
The Move From Castellón to Tenerife
De Miguel joined CD Tenerife in July 2025. Castellón’s transfer announcement described his contribution across 88 appearances and thanked him for his effort during two and a half seasons.
He had arrived at Castellón from Unionistas de Salamanca in January 2023. The club’s account highlighted his goals during its promotion campaign and the progress that brought him into professional football.
For the family timeline, the move followed soon after the public announcement about Carla. It marked a new professional stage at approximately the same time as he was adjusting to fatherhood.
The transfer itself does not establish every detail of where María lived or how the household organised the change. It provides a dated career milestone alongside the known family events.
The November 2026 Tragedy
De Miguel was involved in a collision during Tenerife’s match against FC Andorra on November 2, 2026. The club initially announced that he was in intensive care at the Hospital Universitario Nuestra Señora de Candelaria.
On November 3, Tenerife confirmed that he had died that morning, aged 30. The club expressed support for his family and loved ones and conveyed their request for privacy.
Reports said María and Carla had attended the match. That detail should not be expanded into invented descriptions of what they saw, said or did during the emergency.
The family’s confirmed loss can be reported without reproducing distressing footage or speculating about medical findings that were not part of an official statement.
The Response From His Clubs
Castellón published condolences recalling De Miguel’s commitment and his part in the club’s promotion. Spain’s football federation also issued a message of sympathy to his family, friends, Tenerife and its supporters.
These tributes reflected the connections he had built across a career involving several clubs. They also placed his partner and daughter within a wider community grieving the same loss.
A tribute is not a substitute for María’s own account. Unless she chooses to speak publicly, her perspective should not be invented from statements made by clubs or supporters.
What Is Confirmed About María?
María was Jesús de Miguel’s publicly named partner and the mother of their daughter Carla. Their family was acknowledged by Castellón in June 2025, and Tenerife later conveyed the family’s request for privacy.
The available information supports those central facts. It does not establish a detailed personal biography or a verified wedding timeline. A clear account therefore keeps the focus on the relationship they publicly acknowledged and the family milestone they shared.
