Munster star Simon Zebo and fiancée Elvira Fernandez welcome birth of baby girl as he shares rare name

Munster winger Simon Zebo and his fiancée Elvira Fernandez have welcomed the newest member of their family into the world.

Simon revealed that Elvira gave birth on Thursday to a girl whom they have given the beautiful name of Isabella.

Naturally, well-wishers from all over the Irish sporting community flooded the comments section to pass on their congratulations upon hearing the happy news.

Sean O'Brien, boxer Michael Conlan and former Ireland footballer and fellow Cork native David Meyler were among them.

Isabella is the couple's fourth child in addition to seven-year-old Jacob, Sophia, five, and Noah, two.

Simon and Elvira have been dating since their teenage years but he popped the question in Paris in 2019 while he was playing over there for Racing 92.

In a sweet Instagram post at the time, he wrote: "My childhood sweetheart said yes.

"From the bushes in Blackrock as 15/16 year olds to the bright lights of Paris as parents of three beautiful children.

"Love you forever Eva my queen."
