FRANCE and Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane has become a grandfather aged just 49 after his son Enzo's wife gave birth a daughter.
Zidane's eldest son, who is 27, posted a photo of him and his Venezuelan wife Karen Goncalves holding their baby girl.
Enzo Zidane and his wife cradle their new baby.
Via Instagram he captioned the post: "Welcome our Sia, our princess."
The couple announced the pregnancy in January by posting a photo of an ultrasound scan.
And now the birth has been celebrated by a number of grandad Zidane's old Madrid pals including Los Blancos duo Marcelo and Luka Modric.
Marcus Thuram, Remy Cabella, Antonio Martinez and Emiliano Buendia have also wished him well in the comments of the post.
Enzo now plays for Rodez in Ligue 2 having spent time at Real Madrid while his father was manager.
He was part of the squad that won the Champions League in 2016/17 season, the second of their three consecutive successes.
Zidane has another three younger sons, Luca, Theo and Elyaz.
Luca, a goalkeeper, plays for Rayo Vallecano in La Liga.
Meanwhile Theo and Elyza are in the Real Madrid academy.
If the newest member of the Zidane family also chooses to support Real Madrid she could see her team win the Champions League within her first month of life if Carlo Ancelotti's side can over come Liverpool next Saturday.
Zidane has been out of management since departing Real Madrid a year ago after ending his second spell in charge of the club.
