Buenos Aires (Argentina), Feb 14 (AP) Diego Maradona is a father again after his long-time partner Veronica Ojeda gave birth to a baby boy who has been named Diego Fernando Maradona Ojeda. Jorge Auruccio, the lawyer for Ojeda, says the baby weighed 3.2 kilograms and was born on Wednesday at 11:57 pm local time in a Buenos Aires hospital. He says the mother and child are in "perfect" shape. The 52-year-old Maradona has two daughters from his marriage with Claudia Vallafane -- Dalma and Giannina. The Argentine football great has two other children he has never recognised as his, although courts in paternity cases have ruled he is the father. (AP) ASY 02150202 NNNN
