New Delhi, April 19: Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary athlete, said that he and his long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez had lost their newborn son. Ronaldo turned to social media to request privacy as his family mourns the loss of their infant boy.
Ronaldo and Georgina announced their pregnancy on social media earlier this week. In a Facebook post, the Manchester United footballer stated that the birth of the baby girl has only given them the fortitude to live with the agony of losing the boy.
Cristiano Jr., Mateo, and daughters Eva and Alana are Ronaldo’s other children.
“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. 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,” Ronaldo wrote in social media post.
