Cristiano Ronaldo Reveals That His Baby Boy Has Tragically Passed Away

Prayers are in order for Cristiano Ronaldo and his longtime partner, Georgina Rodriguez.

After Rodriguez gave birth with their sixth kid earlier in the year, Ronaldo revealed that the boy has now tragically passed away.

“It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away,” their joint statement read. “It is the greatest pain that any parent can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us 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 as for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”

Six months ago, Cristiano Ronaldo and his wife announced that they were expecting twins — taking the total number of kids from four to six.

“Delighted to announce we are expecting twins,” the pair wrote alongside a photo of the duo with two sonograms on their respective Instagram posts in late October. “Our hearts are full of love-we can’t wait to meet you #blessed.”

Now, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez are enduring a pain that no parent should ever have to go through.

Our thoughts are with them.
