Ronaldo Nazario and his girlfriend Celina Locks have announced on social media that they are expecting a child.
This will be the Real Valladolid president's fifth child, after Ronald, Maria Sofia, Maria Alice and Alexander.
He had Ronald with Milene Domingues, while his two daughters were with Maria Beatriz Antony.
After having a paternity test to prove that he fathered Alexander with Michele Umezu, Ronaldo had a vasectomy in 2010.
However, he had some of his sperm frozen. "I have some on ice, enough to make a football team," he told the Financial Times in 2019, when discussing the possibility of having more children, which has now come to fruition.

It was Locks who announced that she is pregnant on Instagram.
"No words to describe this moment!" she wrote. "A new phase of my life is beginning. And with it comes great responsibility. Throughout my 30 years, I always caught myself wondering if one day this moment would come. And now, here I am, with this immense happiness inside me!"
