Cristiano Ronaldo, partner Georgina Rodriguez announce death of baby son; support pours in

Manchester: Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner Georgina Rodriguez announced on social media that one of their newborn babies has died. In a joint statement, they revealed their baby son had died and called it the “greatest pain that any parents can feel"

Ronaldo revealed in a social media post last October that the couple were expecting twins. Then in December they announced they were expecting a boy and a girl.

In a post released on the Manchester United forward’s Twitter account, they confirmed the birth of a baby girl.

“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 and Rodriguez said in a jointly-signed statement.

“Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness. We would like to thank the 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.”

Ronaldo’s first child with Rodriguez, Alana Martina, was born in November 2017. The Portuguese striker is also father to fraternal twins Eva and Mateo, whom he welcomed via a surrogate in June 2017.

Ronaldo’s eldest son, Cristiano Jr., 11 years old, was with a partner who has never been named. Cristiano Jr. plays for Manchester United’s junior academy.
