Gareth Bale welcomes baby boy to growing family

Real Madrid superstar Gareth Bale and his partner, Emma Rhys-Jones, have welcomed a third child to their family, a baby boy named Axel Charles.

The couple have two daughters - Alba Violet, aged five, and Nava Valentina, two - and the Real star announced on Tuesday that they have welcomed their first boy to an ever-growing family.

Bale wrote on Twitter: "We are delighted to welcome a baby boy into our family this morning. Axel Charles Bale 08.05.18."

The Wales international has been heavily linked with a move away from Real Madrid in recent weeks, and suggested that he would be open to a move to Bayern Munich.
