2023 was an extremely complicated year for the footballer Sergio Rico and his wife, Alba Silva. It was on May 28 of last year when a horse violently hit the head of the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper while he was on a pilgrimage in El Rocío (Huelva). The accident caused Sergio to remain in the ICU for five weeks, in addition to a total of 83 days admitted to the Virgen del Rocío Hospital in Seville. After this hard setback, the couple has now revealed that they are expecting their first child together.
“I feel quite well, despite the aneurysm not being completely controlled. We have to maintain a few more months of tranquility and calm,” he acknowledged last summer, after leaving the hospital on August 18, 2023. After this hard setback , the couple began a new life, grateful every day for the opportunity to be together. At that time, the fundamental pillar of the goalkeeper was Alba, and she was also the one who constantly updated the state of her husband’s health to the media. However, this difficult episode in their lives is behind them, since both announced this Sunday that they are expecting a child.
“Like the ray of light after the storm… that’s how you come into our lives baby,” the proud parents wrote in a joint post on Instagram. “We still don’t know you and we already love you,” they said, sharing a carousel of images in which you can see both smiling and complicit next to a pregnancy test. The truth is that the news was already revealed in the middle of last February through the magazine ¡Hola!. Then, Alba denied the information.
“I have not given an interview nor have I given an interview to absolutely anyone. Any media that puts words in my mouth that I have not said is making it up. Anyone who knows me knows that I would never tell news like that through a media outlet. , so please, don’t believe everything you read. I have nothing to do with it,” he wrote through an Instagram story, which he later deleted.
The soccer player and the influencer met after he had a relationship with María Moreno, a participant in a reality television show looking for a partner. After six years of relationship, they said ‘I do’ in June 2022, after having postponed the wedding on several occasions due to the pandemic.
The wedding was celebrated in the parish of Santa Ana, in Triana (Seville). The subsequent celebration took place at the La Caprichosa farmhouse, in Gerena, which was attended by teammates from different teams of the soccer player and also recognized faces from the social media scene, such as the influencer Rocío Osorno, among others. Now both are ready to put the finishing touch to their love by receiving their first child together.
