A chat with young parents-to-be, footballer Robin Singh and artist Lianne Texeira, reveals surprising new ideas about pregnancy and parenting only the young can have

The first thing that strikes me as I begin this interview is footballer Robin Singh’s disarming truthfulness. “People forget that pregnancy is a partnership. It’s a physical process for the mother, but the father too has to be emotionally supportive,” says the 30-year-old football player, setting the tone for our chat that’s going to reveal how millennials look at parenthood. “A little pampering and back massages go a long, long way,” he adds with a smile.
