Julian Weigl hit by family tragedy, ex-Benfica man in tough time | OneFootball

The German footballer Julian Weigl, 30 years old, and his wife, Sarah Richmond, are going through a particularly painful time. The couple was expecting their third child, but the pregnancy ended unexpectedly.

It was through Instagram that Sarah Richmond revealed what happened, posting a photo from the hospital, where she appears hugging two stuffed animals. In the caption, she left words marked by pain: "I can't accept the idea that I will never get to hold you," she wrote, expressing the sorrow of the loss.

In the same post, she explained that the intention had been to soon announce the pregnancy, which she described as one of the happiest moments of recent weeks: "By now, I probably would have shared my pregnancy, the most beautiful secret of the past weeks. But, unfortunately, our journey ended very quickly, before we could even meet our baby. Because that’s what it is for us. It’s not a failed pregnancy. It’s our baby, whom we will never be able to hold in our arms."

The partner of the former Benfica player also shared a reflection on grief and the pain experienced by many families in silence: "And now I think of all those who go through the same thing in silence... Time doesn’t heal all wounds, but maybe one day it will be easier?" she wondered.

Julian Weigl and Sarah have been together for over a decade and got married in 2020. They are parents to two children, a six-year-old girl and a two-year-old boy. After living in Portugal between 2019 and 2022, they currently reside in Saudi Arabia, where the midfielder continues his professional career.
