Third child on the way for Michael Owen

Michael Owen, a striker for Newcastle United, and his wife, Louise, are expecting their third child together in the fall and could not be more thrilled according to reports.

When asked about his parenting skills, Michael stated,

I can change a nappy but that’s not to say I do it often. Ithink to start with I was really hands-on with fatherhood and then yousettle into a routine – the wife always baths the kids now and we shareother stuff. But at the start you’re both fighting over who does whatand when. She definitely does more than me though.

The couple have two other children, daughter Gemma Rose, 4, and son James Michael, 17 months.

Nappy! good word. I hope Michael Owen follows the lead of Becks and moves to the states we could use those kids on our soccer teams.

What an adorable little girl (and her daddy isn’t half-bad either)! I love her matching uniform and little dress shoes!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen his daughter before. She’s adorable!

Just a tiny correction: it should be “a striker for Newcastle United”, without the “the”.

I LOVE seeing pictures of footballers with their children. More please!

Michael is one of my favorite soccer players, and his daughter is adorable. Congrats to his family, I’m sure the new one will be just as cute!
