Thibaut Courtois and Mishel Gerzig are expecting their first child together

Good news for Thibaut Courtois and Mishel Gerzig. Six months after passing through the altar, the couple announced this Saturday afternoon through social networks that they are expecting their first child together. "Our love is growing," the model and the soccer player revealed. "We can't wait to meet you," said the couple, addressing their little one, whose birth is expected next spring.

"Spring Baby," the couple said in English, revealing the season of the year in which their little one will enter the world. The words were accompanied by a most tender and emotional image. The couple appears next to a beautiful sunset and the sea in the background, while the Real Madrid goalkeeper kneels to kiss the belly of his partner, who is smiling, happy to think about everything that is coming to them.

After announcing the news, the couple has received a large number of congratulations. Many of them come from colleagues or partners of other footballers, such as Coral Simanovich, wife of Sergi Roberto; Sandra Garal, wife of the Mallorcan forward of the French PSG Marco Asensio; Dani ter Stegen, the wife of goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen or Dafne Cañizares, married to Dani Carvajal. On the other hand, influencers have also wanted to congratulate the couple, such as Laura Matamoros. "I didn't want to tell you anything Mishel, but you seemed different lately. How cool, family!" expressed a follower of the model.

While Mishel will become a first-time mother, for Thibaut it is his third child, since he has two in common with Marta Domínguez, his previous partner. It is a little girl, named Adriana, 8 years old, and Nicolás, six. Furthermore, the latter is following in the footsteps of his father in the club chaired by Florentino Pérez as a member of the lower categories. We will have to wait if the baby on the way also wants to take this path in the world of football.

It was last June 27 when the marriage passed through the altar, and it was in a romantic and spectacular wedding held at the imposing Château de la Croix des Gardes, located in Cannes. Around 300 people attended the event. The truth is that this news is a breath of fresh air for the footballer, who continues to recover from the serious injury he suffered in August and has kept him off the playing field since then. The Real Madrid goalkeeper tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee two days before the start of La Liga. Now, there are many reasons to celebrate and put the injury aside.
