They split just over two months ago after he was romantically linked to a string of other women.

But after Italian model Raffaela Fico discovered she was pregnant with Mario Balotelli's baby, she has decided to give him another chance.

The expectant brunette, who was pictured flying from Milan to Rome yesterday, said the couple were now 'rebuilding their relationship'.

Her small baby bump was visible under a blue T-shirt as she walked through Milan airport for her domestic flight.

It is thought she was reuniting with Balotelli, who is currently in the Italian capital with the Italian football team to meet President Giorgio Napolitano.

Raffaella, 24, told her the Manchester City striker Mario, 21, that she was pregnant just before Italy's semi-final match against Italy.

She told The Sun: 'I know how much Mario loves me, and I love him.

'We are now rebuilding our relationship.

'He'll be a playful dad and a good, loving partner.'

She started dating the Man City player in early 2010 but he was accused of meeting former escort Jennifer Thompson - who had previously enjoyed a fling with Wayne Rooney - five times and had sex with her twice behind Raffaelaâ€™s back.

On Monday, Raffaella said: 'I called the day before the game against Germany and I said, I'm expecting a baby, it's your baby.

'After a pause he said 'You gave me the best news of the world.''

Raffaella was surprised when she discovered that she was pregnant in the middle of May, because she ended her relationship with Mario on 29 April.

She kept the good news to herself after taking a test but eventually revealed the pregnancy to some of her family.

She told the website: 'I went to a pharmacy outside Milan to buy a pregnancy test and I found I was pregnant. But I only told my mother and my brother.'

She said: 'Last Christmas, he told me, 'let's get married and make a son', and I accepted.'

Raffaella, who has appeared on Italy's Big Brother and previously dated Cristiano Ronaldo, added that although the sex of the baby is unknown, Mario will choose the name.
