Adrian Delia and his partner Cynthia Galea announced on Saturday that they are expecting their first child together.

In a brief post on Facebook, the former Nationalist Party leader, now MP, wrote: “Good morning, to my lovely Cynthia, to all of you people out there.

And most dearly of all may you have a good day and beautiful life dearest, yet unborn child of ours. No words enough to thank God every single day.”

People on Delia’s Facebook quickly congratulated the two and wished them well.

Delia is already a father of five children.
