"We are expecting a new family member and are so grateful!  @anaivanovic," wrote the former Manchester United footballer. However, Ivanovic put out a very cute message. She posted a picture of three pairs of shoes — one for the father, one for the mother and one for a baby, and captioned it: "A little extension to our family. Couldn't be more happy!"
