England captain Maro Itoje shared a sweet and emotional birthday moment with his wife and newborn baby. It’s been an interesting journey for Maro and his wife, Mimi, since August, when the couple publicly announced the pregnancy. Several times, Mimi shared videos and pictures of this journey, keeping their fans engaged.
However, the two lovebirds decided to withhold the exact date of Mimi’s birth, reserving it for Maro’s special day. On 28 October 2026, Maro Itoje celebrated his 32nd birthday, and he did so in style. With his wife by his side, Maro held his baby in his arms, the first time he had shown the baby to his fans.
“The Happiest of Birthdays this year with this one ❤️”, Maro said, sharing a video in their backyard.
After that, several rugby players, legends and his fans came to congratulate him on the gift of a baby.

MARO’S BABY COMES AT A BUSY AND YET GOOD SEASON
Indeed, it’s been a few good weeks for Maro Itoje and his family, as he has seen progress and success on and off the pitch. A few days ago, Maro Itoje committed his long-term future to England by agreeing to a new deal with Saracens.
His previous contract would have ended after the 2027 Rugby World Cup, but it is now reported that he will stay at least until 2029. With that signed and sealed, Maro is busy preparing for the November Nations Championship with England,
Then, England would face some of the world’s fiercest teams in Australia, Japan and New Zealand. With Maro in his best mood, England fans are indeed hopeful that he will lead the team well and win the games.
