Buenos Aires: Argentine football great Diego Maradona says the baby born to his former partner earlier this week — named Diego Fernando at birth — “won’t lack for anything”.
The former Al Wasl boss was criticised because he was in Dubai when Veronica Ojeda gave birth on Wednesday in the Argentine capital Buenos Aires.
He acknowledged on Friday in a statement that he is the father of the baby being referred to in Argentina as ‘Dieguito’, or Little Diego.
The child is the fifth known to be fathered by the 52-year-old Maradona. He has two daughters from his marriage with Claudia Vallafane — Dalma and Giannina and has two other children he has never recognised as his, although courts in paternity cases have ruled he is the father.
