In April, Christiano Ronaldo revealed that his long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez had given birth to their twins. Sadly only one of the babies, a girl, survived due to what many believe was a premature birth.
This week UK Football star relived the heartbreaking time his family experienced during the baby’s passing and how he shared the news with his older children when they came home from the hospital.
Cristiano is the dad to Cristiano Jr, 12, twins Eva and Mateo, 5, four-year-old Alana Martina, to who Georgina gave birth, and baby Bella, 7 months old.
During his interview with Piers Morgan, he opened up about the loss of one of his twins and how they keep the baby’s memory alive every day.
“The other ones in the beginning, around the table, the kids start to say “Mom where is the other baby….’ …and after one week I say let’s be up front and let’s be honest with the kids, let’s say that, Ángel, which is his name, he go to the Heaven.”
Adding, “The kids understand, we had shouts around the table and they say “Daddy I did this for Ángel” and they point to the sky. Which I like the most because he’s part of their lives. I am not gonna lie to my kids, I say the truth, which was a difficult process.”
Georgina and Cristiano announced they were having twins in October 2021.
The interview is the first time the incredibly private star has spoken about the baby’s passing. “Piers, probably the worst moment that I passed through in my life, since my father die.. when you have a kid, you expect that everything will be normal, and you have that problem, it’s hard, you know, as human being, that I and Georgina we had quite difficult moments because we don’t understand why it happened to us.

“Was very, very difficult to understand what’s going… in that period of our life.”
Despite this, his busy football schedule continued. This, and his love of his family got him through this dark time.
“We had the difficult moments but we said ‘Listen, we have more kids, we have one that was born, Bella that we have to be happy too’.
“It’s crazy. I tried to explain sometimes to my family and even my close friends.
“I say, I never felt to be happy and sad in the same moment. I never felt. It is hard to explain.
“So difficult. It’s, you don’t know if you cry, you don’t know if you smile because it’s something that you don’t know how to react.
“You don’t know what to do to be honest. And of course I remember very well that I looked like — I don’t know the word to define what I felt in that moment.
