Diego Maradona, 51, to become father again

Argentinian football legend Diego Maradona is set to become a father again for the fourth time, his partner Veronica Ojeda revealed on Friday.

"I'm four months pregnant," Ojeda, 34, told Ciudad.com.

The 51-year-old Maradona has two daughters - Dalma, 25, and Giannina, 23 - from his marriage to Claudia Villafane, and a 26-year-old son, Diego Jnr, born following an affair with Italian Claudia Sinagra when he was playing for Napoli.

The star, who guided Argentina to the 1986 World Cup trophy and then to the 1990 final, is already a grandfather as Giannina is married to Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero, and they have a three-year-old son Benjamin.
