Italo Ferreira and Sofia Larocca Announce That They Are Going to Be Parents
Italo Ferreira has had a lot of , but he's about to embark on the biggest one of all: fatherhood.
The 31-year-old World Champion announced that his partner Sofia Larocca was pregnant via Instagram. The post was simply captioned with a Biblical reading from Psalm 127, 'Children are a heritage from the Lord, a reward from him… Like arrows in the hands of a warrior.'
Larocca, who is a nutritionist, had a bit more to say in her announcement. 'My son/daughter, you have already transformed me,' she wrote. 'I already feel like a new person; a new woman. It is a mix of feelings. Everything is very new. Many times I don't recognize myself as I used to when I look in the mirror, when I notice my completely different disposition, the nausea… now everything is getting better! Even in the difficult moments, I am grateful for having you. It is truly inexplicable to think that I am your house, your home, your food….' You can read her full statement on Instagram.
Congratulations to the parents-to-be!
