Liverpool midfielder Ryan Gravenberch has confirmed the birth of his first child, a baby daughter born in Liverpool. The happy news explains his absence from the Community Shield clash against Crystal Palace on Sunday, August 10, 2025.
Manager Arne Slot revealed the reason before the match, saying, “Ryan Gravenberch became a dad last night.” His decision to prioritize family over football was warmly received by Liverpool fans, who celebrated the milestone alongside him.
Gravenberch’s joyful news comes at a time when other teammates are also experiencing fatherhood. Dominik Szoboszlai recently welcomed his first child, while Alexis Mac Allister is also expecting to become a parent soon.
The Dutch midfielder will also miss Liverpool’s Premier League opener due to a one-match suspension carried over from a red card received in the final game of last season against Crystal Palace. However, he is expected to return later this month when Liverpool travel to face Newcastle United.
Congratulations have poured in for Gravenberch and his partner Cindy Peroti as they celebrate the arrival of their daughter—a moment that beautifully transcends football.
