The pair announced their shock split in January after 30 years together - with divorce proceedings commencing the following month.
Pep is not giving up on his marriage to Cristina, sources say

But, following a three-day trip to Barcelona over the Easter break, the couple are now believed to be "giving each other another chance," according to Catalan newspaper El Nacional - as sources claim that "all is not lost in their marriage".
The pair appeared to start drifting back in 2019, when fashion entrepreneur Cristina moved back to Barcelona to focus on her business interests.
But it was Pep's decision last November to renew his contract with Manchester City until 2027 that reportedly expedited their split.
Now, the manager has pledged to visit Barcelona once a week in between fixtures, a source told El Nacional.
Maria Lapiedra claimed the decision was to prevent them going weeks without seeing each other.
The report also states that the couple - who share three children - are still wearing their weddings rings.
The rescue operation appeared to kick off last month - amid reports that Pep had returned to the family home in Barcelona for a secret visit.
The 54-year-old caught a private jet from Manchester just hours after his team's 3-1 win against Plymouth in the FA Cup.
A source said: "They spent three nights together in Barcelona, both staying at the family home.
"Pep went out on Monday to the dentist and Cristina went to her fashion shop in the city centre.
"They met up again at the shop and spent three hours there before returning to the house to spend the evening together.
"Pep left for Manchester on Tuesday morning."
Pep and Cristina met in 1994 but didn't marry until 2014 - tying the knot at an intimate ceremony on the outskirts of Barcelona.
They had spent the majority of their marriage living separately when Cristina decided to move back to Barcelona with one of their daughters, Valentina.
Their other two children, Maria and Marius, remained in the UK with Pep.
The pair continued to make things work long distance until their split in December of last year.
However, they insisted that things would remain amicable throughout divorce proceedings - and that they would even share the same legal team.
Sources said in February that they had already agreed the initial terms of a multi-million pound settlement agreement - which would be finalised in a matter of weeks.
Respected Spanish journalist Lorena Vazquez, who broke the story of their split, revealed: "They want it above all to be friendly for the sake of their children.
"As you can imagine money is not going to be an issue and they have already agreed the initial terms to make sure this separation is the most cordial possible.
"They have a very good relationship, so much so that the same lawyer is arranging the whole thing.
"The divorce is on the way and is being left in the hands of people with their absolute trust."
