Sara Carbonero and Iker Casillas celebrate their pregnancy in Seychelles

Sara Carbonero and Iker Casillas became one of football’s most popular couples when the goalkeeper spontaneously kissed his girlfriend while she was interviewing him live on TV after winning the World Cup. In the past few months, a lot of rumours have been going on about a possible wedding. However, they’ve taken a step further and have surprised many with Sara’s pregnancy.

The Real Madrid player and Telecinco anchor are expecting their first child, who will be born in December. Rumour was confirmed last week and for the moment it has been reported that Carbonero is perfectly healthy, although she is suffering the usual nausea of the first weeks.

To celebrate the good news, the couple has visited the Seychelles to enjoy a few days of rest. Casillas has confessed his happiness as he had been wishing to be a father for a while. Sources from his closest friends have revealed that they had been planning being parents despite not being married.

The couple learned about their baby at the beginning of May but decided to keep it secret for a few weeks. They wanted to make sure that Sara’s pregnancy was going well and that the news would not affect their daily lives.

So Iker fulfilled his professional obligations: he finished the season with Real Madrid and was part of the Spain squad for the Confederations Cup in Brazil. Meanwhile, Carbonero also had to travel to Brazil to provide updates about the Spanish national team.

They decided to communicate the good news to their closest friends a few hours after coming back from Brazil and starting their holidays. They both believe that when they returned from their holidays the media attention would have diminished.
