Atlético de Madrid and its fans can be at ease. After Marcos Llorente missed Thursday's training for "personal reasons," alarms were raised around the player. However, this Friday brought the best news: Llorente has become a father to his first daughter, as exclusively revealed by Europa Press.
A Very Special Reason for His Absence
The uncertainty lasted only a few hours. Marcos Llorente's absence from Thursday's training session sparked speculation about his physical condition, but the reason was much happier than anyone imagined. His wife, Paddy Noarbe, gave birth on February 13 in Madrid to their first daughter, whom they have decided to name Amor.
The choice of the name is no coincidence, as the little one arrived just on the eve of Valentine's Day. This is a date that symbolizes love and will surely have a special meaning for the Llorente-Noarbe family.
Llorente's Return to Training
After becoming a father, Marcos Llorente quickly returned to the team's dynamics. This Friday, just a day after his daughter's birth, the red-and-white midfielder was already present in the training session with his teammates.
His quick reintegration demonstrates his commitment to Atlético de Madrid, but also the stability and happiness he is experiencing on a personal level. Although neither he nor his partner has made the news public through their social media, sources close to the family have confirmed the information reported by Europa Press.
A Year Full of Emotions for Llorente
The birth of Amor is the crowning moment of a stage full of special moments for Marcos Llorente and Paddy Noarbe. The couple, who met more than a decade ago in school, said "I do" in an emotional wedding on June 30, 2023. A few months later, in September, they joyfully announced they were expecting their first child.
Now, with the arrival of their little one, the Llorente-Noarbe family begins a new chapter that will undoubtedly mark the footballer's life.
