Tottenham striker Richarlison has revealed he is becoming a father for the first time.
Richarlison, 27, announced the news by posting photos of himself with his model and influencer girlfriend Amanda Araujo on Instagram on Tuesday evening.
The couple held two small sandals between them, with Richarlison writing next to the photo: “Now there are three of us.”
In a separate photo, Richarlison was pictured with his hand on Araujo’s as they felt her baby bump.
Richarlison and Araujo were first spotted together while vacationing with friends in Brazil in July 2023.
As well as building a following on social media, Araujo is also studying law in Sao Paulo, but has regularly come to Britain to stay at her boyfriend’s £4million home in north London.

Richarlison struggled with injuries at Tottenham, but has now received good news off the field
Araujo came to support the footballer when he underwent groin surgery last November to resolve a long-standing problem.
However, Richarlison’s injury problems have persisted over the past twelve months and he has only been able to make seven appearances for Ange Postecoglou’s side this season.
He is currently sidelined again, this time with a hamstring injury, and is not expected to return until the new year.
But his good news off the pitch is likely to give Richarlison a much-needed boost at a difficult time for himself and Tottenham.
He has not played since leaving injured in the 4-1 win over Aston Villa in early November.
Spurs have since lost three of their five league matches and currently find themselves in the bottom half of the Premier League, with pressure mounting on Postecoglou.
