The four-year-olds were all smiles at the Ludwigsparkstadion, which has a capacity of 16,000, but they didn't get to see any goals as the game finished 0-0.

Michaella became pregnant during a short relationship and in May 2018, announced to her followers on social media that she had welcomed twins, Rafael Genie and Rio Addison.

It was later revealed that she left the father's name off their birth certificates, which keeps his identity a secret.

In her memoir she writes: "I was in denial when I found out I was pregnant - 'how did this even happen?'

"And then I was even more shocked when I found out they were twins. My family were like, 'Only you… everything extreme happens to you'."

Michaella became known as one half of the infamous Peru Two when she was arrested in Lima airport in 2013 for trying to smuggle €2million of cocaine.

The then 19-year-old from Northern Ireland, along with Melissa Reid from Scotland, had been on the party island of Ibiza when they were offered £5,000 to transport class A drugs.

It became one of the most well-known drug trafficking cases and the pair were nicknamed the Peru Two following their highly publicised legal case.

They were each sentenced to six years and eight months in prison in December 2014 but served less than three.
