Bulgarian playmate Nikoleta Lozanova, who is much better known as the brand new wife of top football player Valeri Bojinov, has given birth to a baby girl.

The happy event took place on Sunday in Sofia. Sporting Lisbon's Bulgarian striker Valeri Bojinov is currently loaned out to Italian side Lecce and headed straight to Bulgaria upon hearing the news.

The news of Nikoleta's pregnancy dealt another blow to Bojinov's former long-term partner and mother of his first child Alisia, who officially announced their separation at the end of October in 2010.

According to relatives, after Bojinov left her, the pop folk diva Alisia has been very depressed and has limited her public and professional appearances. Her parents and brothers are helping her raise their son, Valeri Jr.

Last year Nikoleta and Bojinov moved to Lisbon after he joined Sporting Lisbon on a five-year contract from Parma.

Nikoleta did not hesitate to arrange their life as it would suit her best and he was more than happy to serve her whims, local media say.

The Bulgarian however got himself disgraced on January 19 when Sporting Lisbon ended in a 1:1 Cup draw at home with lower-tier side Moreirense.

In the injury-time, Bojinov decisively pushed his team's habitual penalty-taker Matias Fernandez, only to see his vital spotkick saved.
