The 27-year-old confirmed the speculation by posting a picture of Thiago kissing his mother's stomach on Facebook and writing: "Can't wait to welcome you into our world!!! We love you! Thiagui, mum and dad."
He posted the same photo on his Instagram page, before writing: "Waiting for you baby! We love you."
