In October, Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez stated they were expecting twins.
He is already the father of four children–two of whom are twins, 4-year-old twins Eva Maria and Mateo. He also has a 4-year-old daughter Alana Martina, and an 11-year-old son, Cristiano Jr.
On April 18, the couple announced the death of one of their baby twins in a heartbreaking social media post.
"It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away," the grieving couple wrote at the time.
They continued:
"It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness."
"Our baby boy, you are our angel," the couple wrote.
"We will always love you."
The Manchester United player’s team expressed their condolences on social media, writing:
“Your pain is our pain. Sending love and strength to you and the family at this time.”
"Home sweet home," he wrote, adding, "Gio and our baby girl are finally together with us. We want to thank everyone for all the kind words and gestures."
"Your support is very important and we all felt the love and respect that you have for our family."
He then shifted the focus on his sweet little blessing and added:
"Now it’s time to be grateful for the life that we’ve just welcomed into this world. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻"
