In a heartwarming announcement that has delighted fans and family alike, Gianluca Simeone and Eva Bargiela confirmed they are expecting their first child. The couple shared the joyous news on social media, revealing that they are set to welcome a baby boy, a revelation that has sparked excitement across their families.
The announcement came shortly after Gianluca, a player for Rayo Majadahonda, celebrated scoring a goal during a match. In a moment of exuberance, he revealed the news of the pregnancy, which had been intended to be kept private for a bit longer. Eva shared on Instagram, "We were going to wait a little longer to tell, but your dad got too anxious and let it slip during a celebration. It’s true, little one, we’re all so happy and excited about your arrival that we just want to shout it from the rooftops! We’re waiting for you with so much love. Your parents and all your family (which is huge, so get ready for lots of affection)."
The couple’s announcement was met with overwhelming joy from their families, particularly from Carolina Baldini, Gianluca’s mother and the ex-wife of renowned football coach Diego "Cholo" Simeone. Baldini expressed her happiness through an Instagram comment on the couple's post, stating, "I am a happy grandmother! Welcome, little one!" Her excitement was palpable as she prepares to embrace her new role as a grandmother.
In the aftermath of the announcement, Baldini has been active on social media, sharing glimpses of her life as she balances her fashion business with family obligations. Currently residing in Seville, Spain, she often travels back to Argentina for work and family visits. Recently, she shared videos from Seville, showcasing her joy about the impending arrival of her first grandchild.
Meanwhile, the couple celebrated the gender reveal of their baby in a touching video that captured the moment they learned they were expecting a boy. Accompanied by Gianluca’s younger sisters, Francesca and Valentina, the couple visited a clinic where the doctor confirmed the baby’s gender. "It’s a boy!" the doctor announced, prompting joyful cheers and tears of happiness from the expectant parents.
Eva, who initially thought she was having a girl, expressed her surprise and delight at the news. The couple shared their excitement with family members, including Gianluca’s brother Giuliano, who joined the celebration via video call. The intimate moment was filled with laughter and love, showcasing the strong family ties that will surround the new addition.
As the couple prepares for parenthood, they have received a mix of congratulations and unexpected reactions from those in their lives. Facundo Moyano, Eva's ex-husband, was approached for comment during an interview on the program "Mujeres Argentinas" on eltrece. When asked about the news of Eva expecting a child with Gianluca, Moyano expressed discomfort, stating, "My opinion is irrelevant. I ended that relationship two years ago to avoid discussions like this." He emphasized that he prefers to focus on political and social issues rather than personal matters.
Despite the mixed reactions, the overall sentiment surrounding the pregnancy announcement has been overwhelmingly positive. Friends and family have rallied around the couple, offering their support and excitement for the journey ahead. Gianluca and Eva’s relationship, which has already traversed distances and challenges, is now set to enter a new chapter filled with love and anticipation.
On May 7, 2025, Gianluca shared celebratory photos on his Instagram, capturing moments with his father Diego and stepmother Carla Pereyra, as well as his brother Giuliano. The family celebrated together with blue balloons, marking the joyful news of the baby boy. In a touching moment, the family gathered around the ultrasound picture, embodying the warmth and love that defines their family.
As they embark on this exciting new journey, Gianluca and Eva are not just preparing for the arrival of their son but also for the joys and challenges of parenthood. With a supportive family backing them, they are poised to embrace this new chapter with open arms.
Gianluca, who has followed in the footsteps of his father, Diego Simeone, a prominent figure in the football world, is ready to take on the responsibilities of fatherhood. The couple's relationship continues to blossom as they navigate the joys of impending parenthood together.
In the midst of their preparations, Eva shared a heartfelt sentiment, expressing how much they look forward to welcoming their son into the world. Their journey, filled with love, laughter, and familial support, is just beginning, and it promises to be a beautiful adventure.
