Congratulations are in order for Real Madrid star Kaka, whose wife gave birth to a girl on Saturday evening in Brazil.

Caroline Celico gave birth to baby Isabella at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo, the couple's first child following the birth of their son Luca in June 2008.

The Brazil international midfielder could not be present at the birth as he was playing a big role in Madrid's 6-3 mauling of Valencia in Spain. However, Kaka dedicated both his goals to his daughter after the game who was then yet to see the light of this world.

His wife Caroline announced the birth of the married couple's newly born daughter on Twitter.

"I've given birth again! With a normal delivery and it was wonderful. I enjoyed every pain, every minute which began at midnight. It was all worth it," Caroline tweeted on the social networking site.

Kaka arrived in Sao Paulo on Sunday morning to meet his daughter for the first time but will fly back to Spain on Monday to rejoin the Madrid squad.

The former AC Milan star will be hoping that his impressive performance against Valencia will earn him a starting berth against Barcelona when the two rivals meet once again in the first-leg of the Champions League semi-final tie on Wednesday.
