Alexis Mac Allister was sent a heartwarming message by his girlfriend as they celebrated a massive week on and off the pitch. Mac Allister has been a crucial part of Arne Slot’s team this season.
Building on his impressive debut season in the last campaign, Mac Allister has helped Liverpool climb to the top of the Premier League table with a string of consistent performances.
Away from the pitch, the midfielder is in a relationship with Ailen Cova. They have been in a relationship since late 2022 after Mac Allister won the World Cup.
Ailen regularly shares updates on her personal life to her 139,000 followers on Instagram and revealed last week that she was pregnant with the couple’s first child, which will be a baby girl.
Mac Allister is currently with the Argentinian national team in the season’s final international break before the Copa America tournament.
Ailen was in the stands at the Estadio Mâs Monumental stadium in Buenos Aires along with other friends and family of Mac Allister last night.
They watched Argentina beat arch rivals Brazil 4-1 in a World Cup qualifier. The victory booked Argentina’s place in next year’s tournament, which will be held in Canada, the USA and Mexico.
Mac Allister scored Argentina’s third goal in the match. This delighted Ailen, who was in the stands cheering him on. Ailen shared a clip of Mac Allister celebrating on her Instagram story.
Mac Allister marked his goal by putting the ball under his shirt and blowing a kiss to his partner in the stands. Ailen was delighted and captioned the clip “te amamos”, which translates from Spanish to English as “We love you.”
On his own Instagram, Mac Allister referenced the happy family news with a post which said: “Victory at home, goal and the biggest joy on the way. Let’s go Argentina!” In the comment section of the post, Ailen added: “Love of my life.”
Ailen announced her pregnancy last week with a video on her profile page. Ailen was in floods of tears after Mac Allister showed her the positive pregnancy scan before giving him a hug.
There was then footage of her baby scan followed by a compilation of the pair giving the news to their friends and family members around the world.
This included Mac Allister’s brother Kevin, a professional footballer who played against Liverpool last season for Belgian side Union SG. The final shot of the video showed Ailen holding up a sign on her phone which said: “It’s a girl.”
In the caption of the post, Ailen said: “We wish and love you with all our heart. See you soon little one.” In the comments, Mac Allister added: “I love you with all my heart.”
Partners of other Liverpool players added their well wishes. Lucia Bramani, wife of Fedricho Chiesa, said: “I’m so happy for you! Can’t wait.”
Saffie Khan, Curtis Jones’s partner, said: “Congratulations.” Borka Buzsik, who is the fiancée of Dominik Szoboszlai, added six red love heart emojis
