RYAN Giggs is set to become a dad for the third time aged 50.
The Manchester United legend and girlfriend Zara Charles, 36, are expecting a baby later this year.
Giggs, who has two kids from a previous marriage, and mum-of-one Zara are said to be “delighted”.
Friends of the couple said they were excitedly planning for their baby’s arrival later this year.
Giggs is already dad to Sheffield United footballer son Zach, 17, plus daughter Libby, 19, from his marriage to Stacey Cooke.
Lingerie model Zara — his partner since 2021 — also has a daughter from a previous marriage.
The delighted couple have told close family, and their exes, about their happy news.
