LFC Fabinho's wife shows off baby bump at Anfield alongside couple they met on holiday

Rebeca Tavares showed off her baby bump at Anfield last night.

Fabinho's wife was in attendance as Liverpool FC defeated Ajax 2-1 in the Champions League. The midfielder was in the starting line-up and played a key role as the Reds returned to winning ways following last week's defeat to Napoli.

It has been a huge few months for Rebeca as she revealed she is pregnant with her first child. The 27-year-old has been married to the Brazilian midfielder since 2015 and they announced in July that they are expecting a baby boy, who will be named Israel.

Rebeca regularly shares updates from her happy family life with her 143,000 Instagram followers. She has chartered her pregnancy journey on the social media platform and snaps shared at the ground last night show a friend swooning over Rebeca's baby bump.

Rebeca also reshared a photo alongside a couple who they first met on holiday over the summer. Brenden Ryan told SportsBible how he bumped into Fabinho while on a trip to the Balearic Islands.

He said: "I was lying down and when I got up for a swim, I noticed they were lying down on the sunbeds behind me. I went over and asked him if he didn't mind taking a photo with me." The customs officer struck up a friendship with the LFC star and they later organised a game of beach football.

He added: "I asked if he didn't mind doing a few kick-ups with me later on in the day and he said no, not at all. He was a great guy, very humble and easy to speak to. We played football a couple of times throughout the day and spoke about his football career and just life in general."

It appears as though the two have remained friends after their holiday as Rebeca posed alongside Brenden and his girlfriend at Anfield last night.
