Mika Zibanejad and his wife, Irma Helin, announced their pregnancy via Instagram on Monday evening. Irma posted a photo of the ultrasound on her Instagram with adorable little furry shoes.

She also confirmed the sex of the baby in the caption, which read:

According to FirstSportz, the couple had been dating for nearly 11 years before Mika Zibanejad proposed to his long-time girlfriend in August 2020.

The couple has only posted a handful of pictures on social media and decided to maintain private lives. However, they do share photos of their holidays, and Irma posts content about her broadcasting profession.

Here are a few pictures of the couple enjoying their vacation in Spain:

They enjoyed Seville's rustic and monumental streets and attended the UEFA EURO 2020 Group E match between Spain and Sweden, which ended in a 0-0 draw.
