Ex-Formula One chief Bernie Eccleston becomes dad for fourth time at age of 89

Former Formula One supremo Bernie Eccleston has become a dad for the fourth time - aged 89.

Just months before his 90th birthday in October the billionaire has welcomed his first son, Ace.

His 44-year-old wife Fabiana Flosi has given birth to the little boy after the couple confirmed in April that they were expecting a baby.

He confirmed the news to Swiss paper Blick, saying: "We have a son named Ace. I am so proud."

Fabiana added: "It was all so easy.

"The birth was over after 25 minutes. I thank God."

The new addition is his fourth child after previously having three daughters.

His eldest, Deborah, 65, was born to his first wife Ivy Bamford before he had Tamara, 35, and Petra, 31, with his second wife Slavica Radic.

The former Formula One boss got hitched for the third time in 2012 when he married marketing director Fabiana.

The wedding came three years after his divorce from Croatian model Slavica.

Ecclestone is a former chief executive of the Formula 1 Group.

He ran the motorsport for nearly 40 years before leaving his position as chief executive when US giant Liberty Media completed its £6.4bn takeover of F1 in 2017. It is estimated that Eccleston is worth around £2.5bn.
