It is with immense happiness and emotion that Alexandra and her husband Diego announce the birth of their daughter Francesca Maria. Francesca was born 2 1/2 months premature, weighing only 1.46 kilos at birth, and spent 8 weeks at the hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Today June 19, Francesca has made tremendous progress and was allowed to go home to her parents.
Francesca Maria was born on April 22 while Alexandra was born on April 23.

Thank Goodness for modern medicine.
Little girls are the best.
Congratulations on a healthy baby girl. I am sure she will provide the parents many happy days.
I spent the afternoon looking through and reading through the blog about the birth. Really happy for them.
Kosteniuk’s husband looks a lot older than she is. He looks like he’s about twice her age. Lucky dog! Kosteniuk is seriously gorgeous
Yes, it is great news to hear that Alexandra’s daughter was able to come home. It must be a huge relief to have her baby in her arms again.
Yes scugrad.
Alexandra Kosteniuk dissapointed me so much.
By my classification this almost a marriege between a pedofile and lollita.Disguisting.
I’m glad to hear her newborn is healthy an ok,however.
Congratulations to them. Does anyone else though feel somewhat uncomfortable seeing so much publicity (photos, news, even a special website with an almost daily diary!!) about their child?
He’s about 3 times her age when they met. It’s kind of sick to have a website for the baby already showing intimate stuff.
It’s a very nice site they have there, and I wish the baby and parents long and healthy lives.
Congratulations to Alexandra!
I am happy that Francesca and Alexandra are well.
Alexandra is a wonderful ambassador for chess. She and her family certainly deserve all the best.
