Michael Schumacher is set to become a grandfather after his daughter Gina announced she is pregnant with her husband Iain Bethke’s baby.
Gina shared the news with fans on her Instagram page as she posted pictures of a foal stood next to a batch of pink balloons.
‘Impatiently awaiting the arrival of our little girl,’ she wrote to her 335,000-strong legion of followers.
It comes after she and Bethke got married in September at the Schumacher family’s luxury villa in Majorca, which they bought for £27million in 2017.
German outlet BILD reported at the time that it was ‘very likely’ that seven-time world champion Schumacher was present, almost 11 years on from his near-fatal freak skiing crash, though this has been disputed.
Guests are said to have included Michael’s brother Ralf and his partner Etienne Bosquet-Cassagne, who have been embroiled in a row with the former’s ex-wife Cora over her claims she felt ‘stabbed in the heart’ after finding out he was gay earlier this year.
