A Bundesliga champion's mum has gone viral on social media after revealing a series of intimate holiday and fitness snaps.
Blerta Dajaku, a Kosovan-Albanian model, may look to many as if she is in her 20s, but she is actually in her 40s and recently became a grandmother.
She has racked up more than 21,000 followers on Instagram and regularly shares insights from her jet-setting lifestyle with memories from Dubai, the Maldives, Paris, and Sunderland among other glamorous destinations.
Blerta has also launched a beauty brand in her own name and is a microblading specialist with her own studio.
The model is the mother of former Bayern Munich star Leon Dajaku, who picked up a Bundesliga medal in 2019-20 after making two appearances.

Blerta has followed her son around Europe on his footballing exploits, even to England
The 23-year-old footballer now plies his trade in Croatia with Hajduk Split and earlier this year welcomed baby daughter Nava with his partner Leonie.
Blerta has also made her presence felt on English shores because son Leon spent a season on loan with the north-eastern club in 2021-22.
When she posted about becoming a grandmother earlier this year, the social media star was not short of well-wishers, with fans writing 'congratulations' on her Instagram reveal.
'The most beautiful gift in the world is simply love,' she wrote upon another generation of her bloodline being produced.
But it is her other content such as mirror and bedroom selfies which have proven her bread and butter.
'Beautiful,' 'lovely,' and 'stunning' are among the adjectives deployed by followers on the stream of posts.
Some have even commented 'please DM' in a desperate bid to interact although it is unclear if Blerta took up their advances.
Blerta also makes the occasional post connected to her son's career in football, celebrating when he signs for a new club, and takes a keen interest in his development.
However, Blerta has some catching up to do with her own son, Leon, who actually has more than 48,000 Instagram followers built up from his career.
The forward played alongside Ivan Perisic at Hajduk Split last season, although the former Spurs star has since moved on to PSV.
