Fernàndez is trilingual, speaking Catalan, Spanish and English. Her high proficiency in English has been widely noted and praised. She credits her knowledge of English to her schooling, frequently chatting with foreign Barcelona players and YouTube, and has credited her English to her relative ease settling in and forming friendships after moving to London to play for London City Lionesses (despite the language barrier between some other London City teammates). Fernández previously dated ex-Manchester City and Netherlands player Jill Roord.
