Ballon d’Or winner Karim Benzema and model girlfriend Jordan Ozuna are said to be expecting their first child together.
Spanish newspaper ABC has described the star couple as “very excited” and is reporting the American beauty has put a brake on her career to focus on her future as a mother.
There has not yet been any official reaction from the couple to the claims, which have been widely echoed in Spain.
Ozuna has put her work in modeling to a halt as she concentrates on becoming a mother.
Benzema, 34, already has two children with two different women, Ibrahim, 5, and Melia, 8.
It has been a memorable year for the Real Madrid striker, who won his first Ballon d’Or on 17 October.
The Frenchman’s win of the award came after a season in which he led Los Blancos to a La Liga and UEFA Champions League double.
Benzema scored 44 goals and contributed 15 assists in 45 appearances across competitions last season.
He finished as the top goalscorer in both La Liga with 27 goals in 35 games and the Champions League with 15 in 12.
Both his current lover Ozuna and his former lover and mother to Ibrahim Cora Gauthier were present at the ceremony for Benzema’s Ballon d’Or triumph in Paris.
Ozuna used to work as a Hooters waitress in Las Vegas, but she is now signed to a number of US modelling agencies.
She reacted to her partner winning the Ballon d’Or by posting on her Instagram: “Last night was magical. Nobody deserves this more than you baby.”
Benzema keeps his private life to a low and is not expected to comment on the couple’s pregnancy reports.
They are expected to move out of their property they share in the center of Madrid, according to the Spanish press.
