Amid turbulent times for Antony, the Brazilian winger has found a glimmer of hope as he is expecting a baby with his partner.

The couple announced that they are expecting in a joint Instagram post, with the Premier League star showcasing his growing family by kissing Rosilene’s pregnant belly while carrying his son on his back.

Antony and Rosilene have been in an on-and-off relationship since Antony's time in the youth team of Sao Paulo, and they married in a private ceremony.

Allegations levelled against Manchester United's Antony

Antony’s former girlfriend, Gabriela Cavallin, has accused the Premier League star of domestic violence, threats, and bodily harm. The police report filed by Cavallin includes photos of abrasions and threatening messages purportedly from Antony.

These allegations led to Antony being excluded from the Brazilian national team's squad for World Cup qualifiers late last year, but there has been little progress in the legal proceedings.
