Shortly after the final whistle, Eze revealed to teammates and supporters that he and his partner had welcomed their first child — a healthy baby boy. Social media erupted with warm messages from fans, fellow professionals, and former Palace colleagues, many describing it as a “perfect week” for the playmaker.

Despite his departure, Eze remains a beloved figure in South London, remembered for his creativity, work ethic, and his role in lifting Palace through challenging seasons. Many fans posted heartfelt notes, calling the news “well-deserved happiness” for a player who always carried himself with humility and respect.
Eze himself released a short message, expressing gratitude for the overwhelming support: “It’s been a truly special time for me and my family. To welcome our baby boy into the world is the greatest blessing. To do it on the same day as an important victory makes it even more unforgettable. Thank you to everyone who has sent love and support.”
Balancing fatherhood and football will mark a new chapter in his career, but Eze’s ability to rise to challenges is well known. Supporters across the footballing community will be eager to watch how this new personal joy fuels his performances on the grandest stage of all.
