He said Larissa ‘saw that wonderful little face and I was really emotional, that was her dream’,
After a minor complication the second child was born, at which point Diego left his wife to accompany his newborns.
But doctors would soon follow him with awful news, Larissa had suffered a haemorrhage and urgently needed a blood transfusion because she ‘wasn’t managing to pull through’.

‘The doctor said that because of Covid her body could not take it’.
The distraught new dad remains in hospital with his twins who are under close medical supervision.
