CRISTIANO RONALDO is a footballing legend, a five-time Balon d’Or winner and is known for breaking several goalscoring records.
And the Portuguese icon is hoping that his children will follow in his footsteps.
He left Old Trafford by mutual consent following an eyebrow-raising interview with Piers Morgan.
How many children does Cristiano Ronaldo have?
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina says the birth of their baby girl has “given us the strength to live this moment.”
Cristiano and Georgina announced they were expecting twins in October in 2021.
But the Manchester United ace revealed that their baby boy sadly passed away as celebrities paid tributes online.
On May 7, the couple revealed they have named the baby girl Bella.
To date, Ronaldo has five children, with three of the children born to two surrogate mothers.
His first son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, 11, was born on June 17, 2010, in the United States.
Cristiano Jr’s family nickname is Cristianinho, which means “little Cristiano”.
Following in his father’s footsteps, Ronaldo Jr has started playing football at youth level and is already impressing with his goal return.
On April, 14, 2022, he was captured executing his dad’s trademark “Siuuu” celebration while playing for Manchester United’s Under-12s.
The young ace has also reportedly played alongside Wayne Rooney’s eldest son Kai at times as well.
In June 2017, it was revealed that Ronaldo had fathered twins via a surrogate mother in the United States.
The Portugal captain remained with the national team during the Confederations Cup campaign at the same time, only announcing the birth of the pair after Portugal’s penalty shootout loss to Chile.
They are named Eva and Matteo.
A month later, Ronaldo confirmed in an interview that he and Georgina Rodriguez were expecting their first baby together.
When asked by Spanish news outlet El Mundo whether the player was “happy” to have another child on the way, he replied: “Yes, very much.”
Georgina gave birth to baby daughter Alana Martina on November 12, 2017.
Ronaldo posted a picture on Instagram, writing: “Alana Martina is just born! Both Geo and Alana are doing great! We are all very happy!'”
On April 18, 2022 Georgina gave birth to twins, but the couple announced that sadly one of the two babies died shortly after she gave birth.
They said in a statement: “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.
“Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.
“Baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”
Who is Cristiano Jr’s mother?
The identity of Cristiano Junior’s mother is unknown, but Ronaldo Senior has full custody of his son with reports suggesting that his mother was paid £10million.
Ronaldo told chat show host Jonathan Ross: “People speculate I was with this girl or another, or there was a surrogate mother. I have never told anyone and never will.
“When Cristiano [Junior] 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 because people want me to say.”
Who is Georgina Rodriguez?
Georgina is the mother of Ronaldo’s fourth child Alana and his yet to be named baby daughter.
She was born on January 27, 1994, in Jaca, Spain to a Spanish mum and Argentine dad.
Georgina learned dance before changing careers to modelling after studying English in London.
The 29-year-old was first spotted on a string of dates with then-Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo towards the end of 2016.
Georgina has claimed that her first meeting with the football star was “love at first sight.”
“Our first meeting was at Gucci, where I worked as a sales assistant,” she recalled in an interview with The Sun .
“Days later, we saw each other again at another brand’s event.
“It was then that we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside my work environment. It was love at first sight for both.”
