The 37-year-old Manchester United forward has announced to his millions of Instagram followers that he and his partner Georgina have tragically lost their baby boy
Cristiano Ronaldo has announced the death of his baby son in a heartbreaking statement uploaded to Instagram.
The update was signed off on behalf of both the Manchester United icon and his partner Georgina Rodriguez. It read: „It is with our deepest sadness that we announce the passing of our baby boy. It’s the greatest pain any parent can feel. 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. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you. Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez.”
The news comes just weeks after Georgina had posted a touching tribute to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner as they eagerly awaited their new arrivals. „Every day by your side is happy and special,” she said on Instagram. „We love you indefinitely. Thank you so much to the best dad in the world.”
Georgina first met Ronaldo while working as a shop assistant for Gucci while the forward was plying his trade for Real Madrid. She has formed a close bond with Ronaldo’s other children in Cristiano Jr, 11, twins Mateo and Eva and gave birth to their first child together Alana before falling pregnant again last year.
Ronaldo’s girlfriend spoke candidly earlier this year about how well the family were adjusting to life back in Manchester after the forward’s return to Old Trafford. Speaking to Spanish magazine Hola, Georgina said: „I haven’t felt much change because we practically have the same conditions as in Italy and we have a marvellous home.
