Franck Ribéry and Greta Beccaglia welcome a son

Former professional footballer Franck Ribéry and journalist Greta Beccaglia have welcomed a son, born in Florence at the end of June. The couple has maintained a private but stable relationship, which was previously hinted at through social media interactions.

Ribéry, 43, a former player for clubs including Bayern Munich and Fiorentina, is currently pursuing his UEFA Pro A coaching license at Coverciano. Beccaglia, 32, is a journalist and presenter from Prato who gained public attention following a widely reported harassment incident involving a fan several years ago.
