Cristiano Ronaldo announced on social media on Thursday that his partner Georgina Rodriguez is expecting twins. "Delighted to announce we are expecting twins. Our hearts are full of love - we can't wait to meet you," the 37-year-old Manchester United and Portugal star, who is already the father of four children, wrote on Instagram.
The post was accompanied by a photo of the couple lying in bed with Ronaldo holding up a double ultrasound for the camera. The footballer's eldest son, Cristiano Junior, was born in June 2010 to a surrogate.
Previously speaking about his first-born, Cristiano Jr, and how he is growing up without a mother, the Portugal captain said, “For me it is not a problem. I will say in the world, many kids don't have mum, don’t have dads or dads die or mums die... Cristiano has a dad, an unbelievable dad."
Ronaldo had said in an interview, "Cristiano Jr has a grandmother, I have the support of my family, great of course. It will be like, ‘why don’t you [say?]’ Listen, at some points in life it’s private and people have to respect the privacy of other people." The Ballon d'Or winner had added, "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 because people want me to say."
Seven years later, in June 2017, Ronaldo became the father of twins Eva and Mateo in the same way. Alana Martina, born in November 2017, was the first child from his union with Rodriguez. In 2017, Ronaldo told France Football that he wanted seven children.
