Italo Ferreira, world surfing champion and Olympic medalist, announced the birth of his first son, Martin, the fruit of his relationship with Sofia Larocca, highlighting the emotion of being a father and his love for his family.
Italo Ferreira has reason to smile. Via social networks, the world surfing champion and gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympic Games announced the birth of his first son, Martin.
Although the post was made this Monday 15, with a sequence of photographs, the baby was born on Sunday 14. The child is the result of the athlete’s relationship with nutritionist Sofia Larocca.
“The most special day of our lives! Welcome, Martin Ferreira Larocca. We love you so much! Isaiah 44.2”, wrote the user.
The album features recordings of the baby and the couple in the maternity ward. In addition to the publication, Italo left a message through his Instagram story. The text began with words addressed to the partner.
“First, I have never seen a woman as strong as my wife. Seeing her in this position, gripped by love and, at the same time, by fear, awakened in me something that I never imagined I would feel for anyone. I just wanted, somehow, to help her forget the pain and focus on our son,” he began.
The world champion completed his statement by saying that “his life now has more meaning” and opening his heart to the feeling of being a father.
“When I saw my son looking at us, with this look full of light and shine, I felt like I was in heaven for a few minutes. I was beside myself. I had never experienced anything like this in my entire life. I want to record this, if one day you feel something like this, you will know exactly what I’m talking about,” he added.
