Huge congratulations are in order this morning following the news that Real Madrid winger, Gareth Bales, has welcomed a second child into the life he shares with partner Emma Rhys Jones!
Taking to social media to share the wonderful news with his legions of fans and followers, the Welsh sports star uploaded an adorable shot of his youngest daughter's tiny hand clutched around her daddy's finger.
The tender black and white shot, which has clocked up thousands of likes since its upload last night, was accompanied by a sweet message which paid tribute to the couple's new arrival.
Clearly overjoyed by the change in family dynamic, the new dad-of-two composed a sweet message and revealed the baby girl's chosen name in the process.
"Delighted to welcome another beautiful baby daughter into our family today. Nava Valentina Bale," he wrote.
26-year-old Gareth, who became a dad for the first time when childhood sweetheart Emma gave birth to their eldest daughter Alba Violet in October 2012, has been inundated with messages of congratulations since the big reveal.
"Congratulations on the safe arrival of your baby girl. The more Bales in this world the better," wrote one delighted fan.
Noting the timing of the new dad's post yesterday, another fan of the acclaimed sports star subtly referenced the Brussels attacks, writing:"Congratulations! A beacon of hope on a dark day."
Congratulations to the new family!
