PSG footballer Neymar has announced that he is expecting his first child with Bruna Biancardi, taking to Instagram to share the “dream” news.

Hamilton is personally connected to Brazil, having scooped his first Drivers’ Championship in 2008, where his idol Ayrton Senna also took his maiden trophy.
