DAVID DE GEA’S singer wife hailed the Manchester United goalkeeper as ‘the world’s best dad’ after leaving hospital with their newborn daughter.
Edurne Garcia added said she is ‘full of love’ in her first comments since the birth last Thursday of their first child.
The glamorous Spaniard, who also works as a TV presenter, said: “Thank you my darling for loving me so much, for taking care of me so much and for being the best dad in the world.
“We couldn’t be more happy with our little baby Yanay.
“I’m full of love. Thanks for all your congratulations. Your love and affection has reached us.”
The 35-year-old made her comments alongside a photo of the loved-up pair leaving Ruber Internacional Hospital in Madrid.
She also thanked the ‘marvellous’ hospital team who helped bring Yanay into the world, including gynaecologist Elena Carrillo.
De Gea responded to the post, writing: “I love you so much,” alongside a heart emoji.
Edurne and De Gea started dating shortly after they met in December 2010 to record a Christmas carol to raise money for cancer kids and their families.
He was still with Atletico Madrid at the time. Edurne represented Spain at the 2015 Eurovision Song Contest.

The Red Devils stopper and his partner took to Instagram on Friday morning to announce the news of Yanay’s birth to their combined 12.8m followers.
The name is from the Quecha language in South America and translates into English as ‘My Beloved’.
De Gea is expected to return to Manchester after the international break with his Old Trafford future still unclear.
As revealed by SunSport, understudy Dean Henderson is expecting to take over as the Red Devils’ first-choice No1 next season while the Spaniard is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino.
Speaking ahead of the Manchester derby which Henderson kept a clean sheet, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “It’s a fantastic day for David. Of course, when you become a dad that’s probably the best possible feeling you can have.
“The ones who have been lucky enough to have that feeling know exactly what David is going through now.
“I’ll give him the time he needs before he comes back. He has to go home and in the old world that’s a day, you come back and you’re ready again.
“Now with the pandemic and quarantines of course it’s a different world, but still we felt when David wanted to go and be there to support his girlfriend of course there’s not even a decision to make.”
