Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin has confirmed he and his partner Sandra Jerze are expecting their first child.
The 26-year-old shared the news with his Instagram followers on Tuesday evening, along with a number of images of the couple.
There was an accompanying caption which read: "A heart full of love, a mind full of joy! (Your mum and dad are the coolest) we love you to the (moon) and back!"
On her own social media page, Jerze wrote: "'Big belly rude gyal is what your dad calls me every day. We love you to the (moon) and back."

On the pitch, Calvert-Lewin has endured a couple of challenging campaigns in royal blue, with his rise under former manager Carlo Ancelotti ruined by a succession of injury problems.
So important to Everton when fully fit, Calvert-Lewin was only able to score two goals last season as a result of limited game time. It was a similar story in the campaign before, although his goal against Crystal Palace in a 3-2 win was enough to secure the Blues' safety in dramatic circumstances.
The forward missed the final game of the previous season due to injury and manager Sean Dyche will be hopeful Calvert-Lewin can begin his path back to full fitness when the Everton players return to training on Thursday.
