What a tragic way to begin a week. Terrible news as we’re informed that Cristiano Ronaldo announced Monday that one of his twin babies died during childbirth.
“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,” the soccer star and his partner, Georgina Rodríguez, announced in a joint statement on social media.
“Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness,” they continued, confirming that their daughter survived.
The couple ended their message by thanking the doctors and nurses who helped them while they were in the hospital and asking for privacy as they grieve.
“Our baby boy, you are our angel,” they concluded. “We will always love you.”
The Manchester United star, 37, and Rodríguez, 28, announced in October 2021 that she was pregnant with twins.
