London (England) - At the beginning of January, a disgusting miscarriage threat shattered their happiness , but now DFB star Kai Havertz (25) and his wife Sophia (25) are floating in seventh baby heaven.

The two have become parents for the first time. On Wednesday, the striker, who is currently under contract with Arsenal FC in London, shared the happy news on Instagram .

"Welcome to this world, our little boy. We love you so much," wrote the proud parents. They also posted a sweet picture of the tiny, delicate baby hand clasping his mother's thumb tightly.

Within a few minutes, numerous congratulations poured in, including from Bayer Leverkusen . The club wrote: "Congratulations to the whole Havertz family." Born in Aachen, he began his stellar career in the Werkself's youth academy back in 2010 and played for Bayer in the Bundesliga from 2016 to 2020 before moving to Chelsea FC on the island.

He recently experienced unpleasant times there when his heavily pregnant wife received a miscarriage threat in January. This was triggered by Arsenal's elimination from the cup against Manchester United the previous evening.

Havertz had missed his attempt in the decisive penalty shoot-out. His low shot was well saved by the Turkish goalkeeper Altay Bayındır (26).

Sophia then posted the threat on social media. "I hope you have a miscarriage," it said. Another user crossed the line even further by threatening to show up at her home and kill the unborn baby.

The attacks not only shocked the family, but also many fans. "I don't even know what to say to this. Please be more respectful. We are better than this," the mother-to-be wrote on her profile at the time.

Now these worries should hopefully be gone, the two are enjoying the first few days with their little son.
