A Spanish padre claims to have a matchmaking record of 270 marriages and zero divorces

‘Priest’egeous marriage guaranteed!

Father Fernando Cuevas spends much of his time analysing forms, paying close attention to personality traits and interests. He sends each candidate a file after spotting similar interests

Fernando Cuevas, a Spanish priest from the city of Valencia, has been dubbed the “Tinder Priest” because of his impressive matchmaking record of 270 marriages and no divorces.


Father Fernando’s matchmaking career began 14 years ago. He was walking with a young practising Catholic man named Salva, when he was approached by a group of young women. Impressed by the beauty of the girls and knowing that they shared his Catholic values, Salva asked the priest to play matchmaker and introduce him to one of them. Five months later, Salva married one of the girls, Geles, a Fine Arts student, and Fernando Cuevas’ career as “Tinder Priest” began. He has been taking his role as a matchmaker for practising Catholics very seriously ever since.



Father Fernando spends much of his time analysing such forms, paying close attention to personality traits and interests, and once he spots a good match, he sends each candidate a file with the other person’s information and pictures, and if they both approve, he gives the man the woman’s number so that they can get in touch. As far as he is concerned, that’s where his job as a matchmaker ends.

The Tinder Priest has built quite a reputation among single practising Catholics not only in Spain, but in other Latin countries in Central and South America. He claims to have made thousands of matches in the last 14 years, and he is proud to be the matchmaker behind 270 happy marriages.
