Bournemouth praised Pep Guardiola for a "touch of class" after the Manchester City boss sought out Harry Arter after their match on Monday.
Following City's 2-0 Premier League win at Vitality Stadium, Guardiola embraced the Cherries midfielder on the pitch, speaking into his ear.
Arter, 27, said the Spanish manager "gave me and my partner his best wishes ahead of the birth of our child".
He and partner Rachel's baby daughter, Renee, was stillborn in December 2015.
In October, on Football Focus, it was announced the couple were expecting another child, with Rachel 22 weeks pregnant.
