And after sharing their big day in their native Portugal with HELLO!, the couple are now proud to join us for their first exclusive family photoshoot with their daughter Carlota.
"It's a dream come true being a father," the footballer tells us, as he and Ines invite us into the family home in the heart of Manchester.
"It's a moment that changes your life.
From that moment, there is a new, most important thing in your life.
"Greeting her when I get back from games and training sessions is always a moment of happiness and joy and mostly forgetting about everything else and just focusing on being happy with her."
JUST LIKE HER MUM
Since Carlota's birth in August, in their home city of Lisbon, the proud new parents have been adjusting to their new lives while marvelling at their little girl's every milestone.
With her mother's fair hair and blue eyes, Carlota is contented and alert and a constant source of fascination for her doting parents.
"Carlota is like a mini Ines," says Bernardo, 29. "It's beautiful seeing the two of them together, watching how well Ines is doing as a mum and understanding how lucky I am to have them both in my life.”
As for Bernardo, who was present at the birth, he is a “wonderful and exemplary father”, says Ines, 25.
“The unconditional love he feels for our daughter and the way he looks at her makes me very emotional. He is very calm and patient. He doesn’t want to waste a moment and, whether he’s tired or not, he always wants to be present and wants to part icipate in everything and do everything.
“They have a unique bond. She is very lucky with the father she has and I am very lucky with the father I chose for my daughter. He is simply incredible.
