Ricardo Kaka becomes a father

Kaka has received a welcome boost as he continues his recovery from a knee operation, with the arrival of his first-born child. Kaka became a father for the first time last night when his wife Caroline gave birth to baby boy Luca Celico Leite. The newborn is 51 centimetres tall, weighs 3.59 kilograms and is in perfect health. “Mother and baby are fine,” read a statement on Milan’s website. “All the Milanisti in the world send their affectionate congratulations to the new parents.”
