Alexander Zverev will now enter a new phase in his life after the birth of his daughter, Mayla. The 23-year-old will step into the world of parenting after his ex-girlfriend, Brenda Patea, gave birth yesterday.

Brenda announced the news on her Instagram handle. The German model posted a picture of her newborn and couldn’t hide her excitement.

“On 11.03 we were blessed with the arrival of Mayla.” Brenda wrote in the post’s caption.

Brenda and Zverev dated for months before splitting in 2020. In late-2020 Brenda announced her pregnancy and claimed that Zverev was the father. Later, the German player confirmed that he would be stepping into fatherhood and plans to fulfill his duties as the father.

“Even though Brenda and I are no longer together, we have a good relationship and I will live up to my responsibility as a father. Together we will take care of the little person that is about to grow,” Zverev had earlier said.

Alexander Zverev is excited about fatherhood

In a recent interview, Zverev had spoken about the impending fatherhood. Back in January, Zverev was very excited about the baby and said that it was one of the most important things in his life. He had said:

“I think that will be the most important thing in my life. It will be an incredible feeling for me. I’m really looking forward to it. I can hardly wait. I think when you have your first child, you never get that feeling again in your life.”
