Cristiano Ronaldo, who was expecting twins with his girlfriend, posted a message on Monday April 18 on Twitter to announce the death of one of the two newborns. “It is with the deepest sadness that we have to announce that our little boy has died,” wrote the Portuguese Manchester United striker in a message co-signed with his partner, the Argentine-born Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez. “Only the birth of our little girl gives us the strength to live this moment with a little hope and happiness,” added the couple. The five-time Ballon d’Or, 37, was already the father of four children, including three from surrogacy before his meeting with Georgina Rodriguez.
