Alexis Mac Allister’s partner Ailen Cova has announced she is pregnant with their first child.

Last night, Ailen posted a video on her page announcing she was pregnant with the couple’s first child.

Ailen was in floods of tears after Mac Allister showed her the positive pregnancy scan before giving him a hug.



The final shot of the video showed Ailen holding up a sign on her phone which said: “It’s a girl.”

In the caption of the post, Ailen said: “We wish and love you with all our heart.

Can’t wait.”

Saffie Khan, Curtis Jones’s partner, said: "Congratulations." Borka Buzsik, who is the fiancée of Dominik Szoboszlai, added six red love heart emojis.

Ailen also posted a video of her cheering on Mac Allister from the stands.

After the match had finished, Mac Allister showed his appreciation by bringing them onto the famous Anfield pitch.

The footballer posted a picture of them all together on his Instagram story and added “familia” as the caption, along with a red love heart.

Mac Allister provided an update on his Irish roots last year as he revealed some distant Irish relatives had been in touch.
