Tottenham striker Richarlison has revealed that he will be 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 night.
The couple held up two small sandals between them, and Richarlison wrote alongside the photo: “Now there are three of us.”
In a separate photo, Richarlison was photographed with his hand on top of Araujo’s as they felt for their baby.
Richarlison and Araujo were first seen together while vacationing with friends in Brazil in July 2023.
As well as building a following on social media, Araujo is also a law student in Sao Paulo, but comes to the UK regularly to stay at her boyfriend’s £4million home in north London.

Richarlison has struggled with injuries at Tottenham, but has now received good news off the pitch.
Araujo came to support the footballer when he underwent groin surgery last November to solve a long-standing problem.
However, Richarlison’s injury problems have persisted over the past 12 months, and he has only been able to make seven appearances this season for Ange Postecoglou’s side.
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 field is likely to give Richarlison a much-needed boost during what has been a difficult time for him and Tottenham.
He has not played since being injured during the 4-1 victory over Aston Villa in early November.
Spurs have lost three of their five league games since then and currently sit in the bottom half of the Premier League, with pressure mounting on Postecoglou.
