The wait is over!
Pau Gasol
and
Catherine McDonnell
already have their baby in their arms.
This was shared by the parents themselves through their official Instagram accounts and gave a surprise to all
Kobe Bryant
fans
with the name of the newborn.
"Our little girl is already with us! Everything went very well and we could not be happier. Elisabet Gianna Gasol, a name with a lot of meaning for our precious daughter", wrote the athlete along with two beautiful photographs with which he expressed his happiness.
In the first they proudly intertwine their hands with the newborn, while in the second Pau and Catherine pose with Elisabet Gianna from the hospital.
For her part, the mother also wrote some beautiful words after the birth of her baby, "Elisabet Gianna Gasol joined our family on September 10, 2020, on a very special day, the 100th birthday of her great-grandmother Elizabeth and the Mom and Dad's second engagement anniversary. We're already so in love with our sweet Ellie. "
Let us remember that Paul maintained a great friendship with Kobe Bryant, who died on January 26, in a helicopter accident with his daughter,
Gianna
, 13, and six other crew members.
Gasol once again moved all basketball fans and, above all, Kobe's loyal fans, as he paid tribute to his dear friend with the birth of his first daughter and the name that the little girl bears.
In addition to paying tribute to the great-grandmother of the happy mother with the choice of the first name, the little one also takes as a second that of the daughter of the remembered basketball player.
A very emotional gesture doubly.
Vanessa Bryant's
reaction
was immediate and, after sharing the happy news, she commented, "I love you all! Congratulations!", To which McDonnell replied: "We love you very much, godmother."
For her part,
Natalia
, Kobe's eldest daughter, showed her happiness with a heart and the word "love" in capital letters, messages full of love and affection after spending a few hard months.
Since the death of his partner and friend, whom he considered a brother, Gasol has been very aware of the widow and his daughters, whom he considers nieces, in fact, a few weeks ago he shared a vacation with the family of the legend of Los Angeles Lakers.
Now, with the birth of Pau and Cat McDonnell's first daughter, they can finally celebrate good news together as well.
In the final stretch of pregnancy, both the Spaniard and his partner showed their enthusiasm and nerves, publishing snapshots and texts in which they confessed that they were looking forward to meeting "baby Gasol", as they have affectionately referred to in their latest publications.
"Last weeks being two" or "It remains very little", are some of the messages that the happy mother shared with her fans, in addition to showing the first gifts they have sent her for her baby.
"I love you very much, I am such a lucky man," replied Gasol, who a few days ago confessed that he was already prepared for the birth.
In fact, although the couple preferred to keep a secret if it was a boy or a girl, many of their fans noticed some details in the photos of their
baby shower
, such as the cake or the balloons, which were pink.
It should be noted that they have been very complicated months due to the health crisis, however, for the Catalan player and his wife, the pandemic coincided with one of the happiest stages of their lives.
It was on July 27 when they excitedly announced that they were going to become parents and they did so with several postcards in which Cat, as they say affectionately, was already showing off her pregnant belly.
"We couldn't be happier to add a new member to our family very soon! You are going to be the best mother," wrote Gasol, who turned 40 on July 6.
Without a doubt, it was an unforgettable day for him and his wife surprised him with a surprise party at home and a most original congratulation.
On July 7, they celebrated their first wedding anniversary by remembering that romantic ceremony that took place at a country house in Woodside.
California.
They wanted an intimate and private wedding, and so it was, since the only photos of the link that we could see were those that they published themselves on social networks.
"The most magical moment I have lived in my life!", Said the player after giving the 'yes, I want' to Cat, who was radiant with a white design with embroidery, a V-neckline and a skirt with a train, as well as a very long veil and loose hair.
Later, they promised each other eternal love in Spain, specifically in Empordà, Gerona, surrounded by their closest family and friends.
