Tomasz Hajto, the former Polish national football team player, has welcomed his third child, Zuzanna, who arrived prematurely at just 29 weeks of gestation. The 52-year-old Hajto announced the joyful news through his social media accounts, expressing his deep appreciation for the medical team who supported his family during this challenging time.
"I want to share the news about my daughter. Zuzia is finally healthy," he wrote on Instagram, alongside a photo of himself holding the newborn. The emotional post highlights the intensity of the experience for Hajto and his partner, who faced significant challenges during the pregnancy.
The birth, which took place at the MSWiA hospital, was marked by gratitude from Hajto who thanked Dr. Wojciech Fałęcki, Dr. Marzena Dębska, and especially Maria Wilińska for their efforts. "We are immensely grateful to Elżbieta Radzikowska, who was a great support during this difficult time, as well as to all the amazing professionals at the Children's Health Center supported by the Polsat Foundation. Thanks to you, we are happy parents of a healthy baby, and there is nothing more valuable in life," he continued, emphasizing the emotional weight of the moment.
Born as a preterm baby, Zuzanna's arrival has brought joy to the Hajto family, though it was not without its stresses. The former footballer shared how the unexpected situation affected him and his family. Having played 61 matches for Poland and later transitioned to commentary and analysis work, Hajto has had his fair share of public scrutiny, which he acknowledges can also impact his loved ones.
"I have to say, public criticism can detrimentally affect my family," he mentioned earlier, recognizing the pressures his children face due to his public persona. Hajto is father to two other children: Mateusz, 31, and Wiktoria, 19, from his previous marriage with former athlete Renata Sosin.

Despite the challenges and emotional turmoil, Hajto and his new partner have found solace and support from family and friends. The positive message shared by Hajto reflects their optimism for the future, with renewed focus on family life as they celebrate the arrival of their daughter Zuzanna.
The football community and fans have been quick to shower him with congratulations and words of support, expressing joy for the family's new addition. Comments under his announcement offered wishes of health for the baby and happiness for the parents: "Priceless joy in the eyes," commented one user, highlighting the heartfelt sentiment shared among Hajto's followers.

After retiring from professional football, he took up roles as a commentator and analyst, becoming one of the recognizable faces of sports media.
