Bernie Ecclestone is set to become a dad for the fourth time, as wife Fabiana Flosi is pregnant with their first child together.
The former Formula 1 boss, 89, confirmed the 44-year-old will be giving birth to a baby boy in July. ‘Yes, it is due in the summer,’ he told Swiss newspaper Blick on Thursday. ‘Hopefully he’ll learn to play backgammon soon!’ ‘Like all parents we have only one wish,’ the mum-to-be continued. ‘The child must be born healthy. ‘Hopefully he will never express any interest in doing something in Formula 1!’ Bernie and Fabiana, who is 45 years his junior, married in 2012 at his ski chalet in Switzerland, three years after they first started dating.
