Even if things didn’t go according to plan for David Alaba with Real Madrid recently, he has every reason to be happy: the ÖFB national team captain is becoming a father for the second time.
The wonderful news was made public by friend Shalimar Heppner, who posted photos together on Instagram showing her baby bump. “We had a little secret – baby number 2 is on the way,” comments the 28-year-old.
Son Zion was born in 2019. The family has been living in Madrid since the summer of 2021, when Alaba switched to Real Madrid after 13 years at Bayern Munich.
