Roger Federer and his longtime girlfriend Mirka Vavrinec are expecting their first child this summer. On Thursday this Swiss tennis star has made the announcement on his website.
Roger wrote, "I arrived in Indian Wells earlier this week and I am eager to get back out on court”. "My back is feeling much better and I am ready to go.”"I also have some really awesome news to share with all of you: Mirka and I are excited to let you know that we will be parents this summer! Mirka is pregnant and we are so happy to be starting a family together.”
He continued, "This is a dream come true for us," the 27-year-old added. "We love children and we are looking forward to being parents for the first time. Mirka is feeling great and everything is going well."
Federer, the former world number one, met the press in Indian Wells on Wednesday as he is making preparation for the first Masters Series event of the season. However he did not mention of the happy news.
Instead the 13-time Grand Slam champion focused on his recovery from a lingering back ailment, which kept him out of action after losing the Australian Open final to Rafael Nadal. |
