Michael Schumacher has become a grandfather after his daughter, Gina, welcomed a baby girl into the world. 

Gina Schumacher announced that she was pregnant in December and has now announced the birth of baby Millie alongside her husband Iain Bethke’s.

The news comes after she and Bethke got married in September at the Schumacher family’s luxury villa in Majorca, which they bought for £27million in 2017. 

German outlet BILD reported at the time that it was ‘very likely’ that seven-time world champion Schumacher was present, almost 11 years on from his near-fatal freak skiing crash, though this has been disputed. 

Announcing Millie’s birth on social media, Gina and Iain wrote on Instagram: ‘Welcome to the world, Millie Born on March 29th, our hearts are fuller than ever. We are beyond blessed to have you in our lives.’
