Violeta Boric Carrasco, daughter of Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font and his partner, environmental chemist and former professional basketball player Paula Carrasco, was born Wednesday evening at the Clinical Hospital of the University of Chile in Santiago, making the child the first ever born to a sitting president Carlos Ibáñez del Campo’s offspring in 1928 and 1930. The birth was confirmed after 11 pm local time.
Chilean President Gabriel Boric Font announced through his Instagram account that he will become a father for the first time after conceiving a child with professional basketballer Paula Carrasco. He added to the posting an image of an ultrasound. “We will give the best of us so that the Chile we live in will be fairer and happier. We love you,” the head of state also wrote in a message to his child, due in June next year.
