Darwin Nunez sent a message as he was spotted on holiday with his girlfriend. The Liverpool FC striker has three goals this season, including the opener in Liverpool’s last league game against Aston Villa on November 9.

The Uruguayan celebrated his goal by sucking his thumb and putting the ball up his top. He confirmed afterwards in an Instagram post that his partner Lorena Manas was pregnant, sharing several pictures of the baby scan as well as snaps of Lorena and her baby bump.

He said in the caption of the post: “Words cannot express the happiness we feel for this new life we have created together, our family grows, your brothers and your parents are waiting for you with the utmost excitement to give you all the love in the world.”

In the caption, she said: “Memories of the summer where a new love story in our life began.” In the comments section, Darwin said “I love you” followed by emojis of a love heart and smiling face with heart eyes. His message received thousands of likes.
