Dutch football player Boudewijn Zenden and his girlfriend Nadine are expecting their first child together. Boudewijn, the older brother of John Heitinga's wife Charlotte-Sophie, and Nadine expect their bundle of joy around Christmas time.

Boudewijn, 34, just returned to Maastricht, the Netherlands, after having played in England for Sunderland AFC. 

This will be the fifth grand child for Boudewijn & Charlotte-Sophie's parents, former judoka Pierre Zenden and his wife. Daughter Charlotte-Sophie gave birth to son Lennox little over a week ago.
