The 46-year-old Italian football legend shared the news on Instagram – revealing the addition of Isabel ‘Coco’ to their brood, who joins Stella, born in 2018 in the family.
It completes a picture of Vieri’s perfect life – enjoying a beach lifestyle in Miami, while being a doting father and becoming a part-time DJ.
The former world’s most expensive player, who notched 236 goals in his career and was top scorer in Serie A and La Liga, certainly has a life to envy.
BEACH VOLLEYBALL
When he is not working as a pundit on beIN Sports, Vieri loves spending time on Miami beach.
Aside from hanging out with his partner Costanza, 30, and an army of beautiful women, he’s taken on a new hobby.
Vieri loves playing beach sports, including volleyball and footvolley.
He loves footvolley so much he created his own annual tournament called Bobo Summer Cup, and has invited pals including Hernan Crespo, Luca Toni and Alessio Tacchinardi in the past.
Of course, it’s the perfect to top up a tan and the big centre forward still looks to be in good shape.

COSTANZA
Recognised as a ladies’ man, having dated glamorous women including George Clooney’s ex Elisabetta Canalis and model Melissa Satta, it was always going to someone remarkable to help tame Vieri.
In 2017, he met blonde beauty Costanza, was instantly smitten, and the pair have been inseparable since.
Costanza is 16 years younger than Vieri and has appeared in a number of Italian shows and as a TV presenter.
In 2018, the loved-up pair welcomed their first child together -a girl called Stella.
And they became proud parents again at the end of March to another daughter called Isabel.

INTERNATIONAL DJ
With time on his hands after retiring, Vieri was desperate to reinvent himself.
So what did he do? First, he tried his hand at dancing, appearing the Italian version of Strictly Come Dancing.
But back in Miami, he learned how to DJ and his now a regular on the club circuit.
Performing with his group Bobo, named after his childhood nickname, he remixes Barry White, ABBA and other 1970s jams, playing their hits alongside current house music favourites.
“I was inspired after I went to Ibiza with my girlfriend to the Ushuaia club and saw DJ Andrea Oliva,” he told SunSport.
“We listened to music with him and I said to my girlfriend, ‘let’s have some fun, let’s try and do this.'”

THE GOOD LIFE
Over the years, Vieri has attracted mates from the game who love to visit him in Miami.
Vieri is sometimes spotted watching the Miami Heat basketball team, but it’s his passion for eating out that dominates his social media.
Often he’s seen sat dining with pals, who have visited him in the States, like Ronaldinho, former strike partner Ronaldo and Barcelona legend Luis Figo – catching up over freshly cooked fish.
In fact, Vieri loves living the good life. Alongside beach volleyball, he keeps fit by
snorkeling, swimming in his garden pool or jogging along Ocean Drive on Miami Beach.

REMEMBER THE FOOTBALLER?
Vieri’s charmed life is testament to his life as a footballer.
He was once the most expensive player in the world – when Inter Milan paid Lazio £32million for his services in 1999.
Vieri is also Italy’s highest ever World Cup goalscorer alongside Roberto Baggio and the great Paolo Rossi with nine goals in nine games from 1998-2002.
Having grown up for a period of his life in Australia, where he loved playing cricket, all he ever wanted to do was to represent the Azzuri.
“When I was growing up in Australia my dream was to play in Serie A and for the national team,” he told us.
“I think when you play for your country, in whatever sport it is, that’s the biggest accomplishment in the world.

“When I put that blue shirt on it was f****** crazy. In the World Cup I couldn’t breathe. I really had a hard time catching my breath.
“Before normal games I was always relaxed. But at the World Cup for Italy my heartbeat was always going a lot quicker.
“I could feel it, it was the tension and playing in the World Cup was just a dream come true.”
