Roberto Luongo Official Fan Blog

Yes! Its true - the man himself, world class, kick butt hockey goaltender Roberto Luongo is having a baby! Well, his wife is, anyway. I first heard about this as a rumor floating around, but now it is official, from the man himself.

Everyone knows that Roberto is notoriously close mouthed about his personal life, so much so that he has been called the “mystery man” by his friends. In this very humorous short interview with The Sports Network’s James Duthie, he reveals his innermost secrets, from his notorious “stomach problems” last season, the real reason why you never see him in shorts, and…(drumroll please!)… that he and his beautiful wife Gina are having a baby!

In a joking reference to his dry-land training in the off season, he admitted (but, only when directly asked) that yes, he and Gina were expecting a child. When asked the due date, Luongo said that right now, the due date is April 2nd.

Of course this is great news for the family, and I wish them all the best and hope everything goes well for them. However, as a fan, looking at the timing, I have to hope this will not interfere with Roberto’s playing in the playoffs…
