Cristiano Ronaldo and his family are celebrating new life. As the Portuguese soccer star, 37, and partner Georgina Rodríguez continue to mourn the death of their newborn son, they revealed the name and birthdate of the baby boy’s surviving twin sister on Saturday.
“Bella Esmeralda 180422,” Rodríguez, 28, captioned a series of adorable photos on Instagram of the baby girl sleeping. They previously announced their loss, as well as the birth of Bella, in a joint statement shared last month.
“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,” they wrote. “Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you,” the parents added.
Ronaldo and Rodríguez have since been met with an outpouring of love and support from his fans and fellow players. Manchester United and Liverpool fans led a minute of applause last month during the seventh minute of a match, in honor of the mourning dad’s jersey number.
The couple previously announced they were expecting a second set of twins in October, sharing a photo of the two of them in bed, holding up their sonogram photos.
