A bittersweet moment for Phoenix Suns' Steve Nash as he welcomed his newborn son Matteo who arrived on Friday (November 12) and sadly to say, he and wife Alejandra Amarilla decided to split up!

The two go separate ways and announced it a day after Steve's wife gave birth (Nov. 13), ending their 9 years of relationship (wed in 2005).

The two-time NBA MVP issued a statement via Life & Style:

"I am very thankful and excited that we have a new son, Matteo Nash. Alejandra and the baby are doing fine. But this is a bittersweet moment for my wife and I; after five years, we are now in the process of dissolving our marriage. While we have lived separately for the past several months, we remain firmly committed to raising our children in the most positive, nurturing way possible. I want only good things for Ale going forward; right now, I'm focused on ensuring that our children understand how much they're loved and adored by us as they continue to adjust to these changes. I would ask that their privacy, and ours as a family, be respected as we move forward. This will be my only statement on this."

They also have two other children, twin daughters Lola and Bella!
