Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez are finding “hope and happiness” after the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 of their daughter and amid mourning the loss of their new𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 son.

On April 18, 2022, the soccer star shared on Instagram that one of the couple’s new𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 twins, a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy, had died.

Nearly a year later, fans saw Rodriguez open up about that day in a trailer for season 2 of her Netflix series, I am Georgina.

“Over 40 million people follow me, but no one knows how I really feel. This year, I had the best and the worst moment of my life in an instant,” she said, adding that Ronaldo “encouraged” her to start enjoying life again after the heavy loss. “Life is hard. Life goes on. I have reasons to move on and be strong.”

Ronaldo became a dad in 2010 with the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 of his first son, also named Cristiano. It wouldn’t be until seven years later that Ronaldo would grow his family, first welcoming twins via surrogate and then a 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 with Rodriguez. Then, in October 2021, the pair announced that they were expecting twins — a boy and a girl — in April 2022.

Ronaldo has said, “Becoming a parent and raising my family is honestly the greatest privilege I’ve had.”

Here, we take a look at his family.

Born June 17, 2010, Cristiano Jr. is named after his soccer star dad. Ronaldo has never disclosed the identity of his first𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧’s mother, telling Jonathan Ross in 2015, “Some points in life are private and people have to respect the privacy. When Cristiano is going to grow up, I am always going to say the truth to him because he deserves it, because he is my son. But I am not going to say [it just] because people want me to say.”

His statements in 2015 echoed those that the soccer star made at the time of his son’s 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡.

Ronaldo tweeted, “It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy. As agreed with the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship. I request everyone to fully respect my right to privacy (and that of the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥) at least on issues as personal as these are.”

Now nearly 12 years old, Cristiano Jr. is taking after his father in more than just looks — he plays soccer just like Dad!

In June 2017, Ronaldo welcomed twins Eva and Mateo via surrogate, sharing the happy news of their arrival in a Facebook post captioned, “So happy to be able to hold the two new loves of my life 🙏❤.”

Months before the twins’ arrival, Ronaldo began dating model Georgina Rodriguez, with the pair making their first public appearance at the Best FIFA Football Awards in January 2017.

Ronaldo and Rodriguez celebrated the twins’ 6th 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡day in June 2023. The dual party included a mermaid-themed cake for Eva and a soccer-themed cake for Mateo.

“Many congratulations my loves! Daddy is very proud of y’all,” the pro soccer player captioned a family photo on Instagram.

In October 2021, Ronaldo announced that he and Rodriguez were expecting twins. The Manchester United soccer player shared the news alongside a photo of himself lying in bed with Rodríguez while holding up ultrasound photos.

In April 2022, Ronaldo shared the heartbreaking news that one of the couple’s twins, a 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy, had died.

“It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel,” Ronaldo wrote. “Only the 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡 of our 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.”

Ronaldo continued by thanking their doctors and nurses for “all their expert care and support.”

“We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 boy, you are our angel. We will always love you,” he concluded the post, signed by him and Rodríguez.

On Nov. 15, 2022, Ronaldo opened up about the moment he told his older 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren that while the 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦 girl, Bella, was 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 healthy but her twin brother, Ángel, had died.

“Gio arrived home and the kids start to say where’s the other 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦, where’s the other 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦?” Ronaldo said in an interview with Piers Morgan.

“The kids start to say ‘Mom, where is the other 𝑏𝑎𝑏𝑦….’ ” the athlete continued. “After one week I say, ‘Let’s be upfront, and let’s be honest with the kids, let’s say that, Ángel, which is his name, he go to the Heaven.’ ”

Ronaldo says that the family talks about Ángel every day. “The kids understand, we had shouts around the table and they say ‘Daddy I did this for Ángel’ and they point to the sky. Which I like the most because he’s part of their lives. I am not gonna lie to my kids, I say the truth, which was a difficult process.”

On Feb. 12, 2023, Rodríguez shared a photo of her youngest wearing a cute black sweater and ruffled white shirt as she sat on Ronaldo’s lap.

“That look, so strong and delicate, that God has given you. Love them,” the proud mom captioned the snap.

“Just like dad. My love 🥰,” Ronaldo responded in the comments.
