Chelsea FC footballer Marc Cucurella and his partner C laudia Rodriguez are a glamorous high profile couple, but they've lately been opening up about what life is like behind the scenes as parents of three, including their four-year-old son Mateo, who has autism. Mateo's journey gained attention in series 2 of the Amazon Prime documentary Married to the Game earlier this year. Marc and Claudia candidly revealed personal details about their life together, getting emotional as they recalled crying every day when their little boy, who is non-verbal, was first diagnosed.

The couple's experience is one to which many families can relate; the British Medical Association estimates that one in every 100 children in the UK is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
