Bella Esmerelda was born in 2022. She was heartbreakingly supposed to be one of a pair of twins, but the male twin didn't make it to term. Ronaldo announced in April 2022 the loss that he and Rodriguez had suffered, saying, "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."
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.
Cristiano Jr. was Cristiano Sr.'s firstborn child. He entered the world in 2010, and was the only child for the soccer star for seven years. Cristiano Jr. has followed in his dad's footsteps and has taken up soccer, playing for Portugal's youth soccer team.
Interestingly, we don't know the identity of Cristiano Jr.'s mother. Cristiano Sr. said in an interview about her "some points in life are private and people have to respect the privacy. When Cristiano is going to grow up, I am always going to say the truth to him because he deserves it, because he is my son. But I am not going to say [it just] because people want me to say."
He made a similar statement when Cristiano Jr. was born, posting on then-Twitter, "It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby's mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship."
