Cristiano Ronaldo and partner Georgina Rodriguez announce death of baby boy

The Portugal international, 37, and Rodriguez, 28, were expecting twins.

Their baby girl survived, and they said her birth "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," they wrote.

In a statement on social media, they said: "It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away.

"We are all devastated at this loss and and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time."

The pair had announced the pregnancy in October.

Ronaldo & Georgina Rodriguez's one-year relationship

This couple reportedly met at a Dolce and Gabbana event in Madrid. The two started low-key dating until the press spotted the soccer stud at Disneyland Paris with the Spanish beauty in November 2016. 

Rodriguez had studied dance and English in London and was reportedly working as a Gucci sales associate before meeting the Real Madrid superstar. 

Suddenly, the two were inseparable, and Ronaldo was taking his girlfriend everywhere with him. 

But little did the public know that there were two incredible surprises on their way.
