Bayern Munich midfielder João Palhinha has become a father for the second time. The Portuguese footballer shared the joyful news by posting photos with his newborn son on Instagram.
Palhinha posted heartwarming images of himself holding the baby, accompanied by his older son and his parents, who warmly welcomed the newest addition to the family.
Notably, the baby’s mother, Patrícia Palhares, was absent from the photos. She also shared images of the special moment on her Instagram but did not include any pictures with Palhinha.
Reports indicate that the couple separated back in September 2024, and since then, Palhinha has been living in Munich. However, the footballer still traveled to the hospital to be present for his son's birth.
"It was a great joy for me to see my son. These are very special moments for me and my family," Palhinha told Bild after Bayern’s latest Bundesliga match.
This season, Palhinha has made 15 appearances for the Munich club across all competitions.
