Luke Shaw’s girlfriend Anouska Santos has shared an exciting life update on social media as the Manchester United left-back dropped a response to the news

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has welcomed his fourth child into the world with long-term girlfriend Anouska Santos.

Santos, 33, revealed last week that the couple were expecting another little one. And on Tuesday, she confirmed that their third girl, Paisley, was born late last month.

In an Instagram post, Santos shared a number of photos with her 85,000 followers, and among them included her taking a mirror selfie with the latest addition to the Shaw family.

Also included was an image of Paisley alongside her sisters and brother in a cot. The final photo was a photo of Santos’ left hand, which now has a tattoo of Paisley’s name. A caption for the post read: “Paisley [heart with arrow] 20.02.26.”

In the comments section, Santos received a number of supportive messages. One of which was from Shaw, who simply put a red love heart emoji.

Another was from James Maddison’s other half, Kennedy Alexa, who wrote: “You’re incredible Her name is gorgeous!!! Congratulations.”

Estelle Bergkamp, the fiancee of Shaw’s ex-United teammate Donny van de Beek, wrote: “Ahhhhh congrats beauty.” Kaylee Ake, the wife of Manchester City defender Nathan, said: “Ahhh congratulations hun [red love heart emoji].”

Like Shaw, United defender Harry Maguire also dropped a like on the post. Shaw and Santos’ three other children are Reign London, six, and sisters Storie, four, and Lumie, two.

Shaw, 30, has enjoyed an impressive season for United after returning to form following an injury-hit 2024/25 campaign. However, the England international caused some concern after being substituted in the first half of Sunday’s win against Crystal Palace.

He appeared to take heavy knock from Daniel Munoz but played on until the 24th minute, when he was unable to continue, despite receiving treatment on the pitch. But Carrick said in his post-Palace press conference that it was illness impacting Shaw – and centre-back Harry Maguire – rather than injury.

Carrick is hoping Shaw could return to face Newcastle United on Wednesday, with the United head coach delivering a fresh update in his pre-match press conference. “Still got a bit of time to the game, and we’ll just have to see how they feel,” he said on Shaw and Maguire.

“So we’ll give them every chance. We’re working towards it. They weren’t feeling too good, we’ve still got a bit of time to the game so we’ll see how they feel. It wasn’t injury, both weren’t feeling too good, so it’s one of those things really. We’ll see how they are.”
