Soccer Superstar Cristiano Ronaldo Is a Dad of 6 — Get to Know His Little Ones

Cristiano Ronaldo may be known for being a very, very attractive soccer star, but we would also like to discuss his absolutely adorable family. The Portuguese father of six — who currently plays for Saudi Professional League club Al Nassr and the Portugal national team — and longtime partner Georgina Rodriguez have their hands full with their little ones. But judging by their frequent Instagram snaps, they wouldn't have it any other way.

In April 2022, Cristiano and Rodriguez announced that one of their newborn twins, a baby boy named Angel, had died. "It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away," they wrote in a joint Instagram post. "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." In addition to Angel and his sister Bella, Cristiano is also the father to twins Eva Maria and Mateo, daughter Alana, and son Cristiano Jr.

Ahead, check out some of Cristiano's sweetest Instagram pictures with his growing brood and get to know all of his kids a little better.

Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro Jr.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. was born June 17, 2010. He is Cristiano Ronaldo's oldest child and often goes by Cristianinho, which basically means little Cristiano. When Cristianinho was born, Cristiano wrote an announcement on Facebook to share the news. It read, in part, "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." Cristianinho was born in the United States but was brought home to Europe with his famous father as a baby and is even following in his footsteps — he started playing with the Juventus youth squad in 2018, per Bleacher Report.

Eva and Mateo dos Santos Aveiro

Eva and Mateo dos Santos Aveiro were born June 8, 2017. The twins are Cristiano's second- and third-born children. They were also born via surrogate in the United States. Though Cristiano wasn't present for the babies' birth due to a soccer match, per The Sun, he made the trip to the US to be with them as soon as he was done working.

Cristianinho quickly bonded with his new little siblings, which Cristiano has shown in all the sweet family photos he posts. And this doting father is even instilling good hygiene habits in his kids at a young age — because safety is key!

Alana Martina dos Santos Aveiro

Alana Martina dos Santos Aveiro was born Nov. 12, 2017. Cristiano announced Georgina Rodriguez was pregnant soon after the twins were born, growing his family very quickly from one child to four. When Alana was born, Rodriguez told Hola magazine (via People), "We both chose the name. Cristiano chose Alana and I chose Martina. We decided to give her both names that each of us chose. We thought it was even more special."

Bella Esmeralda and Angel dos Santos Aveiro

In October 2021, Cristiano and Rodriguez announced they were expecting twins. Six months later, in April 2022, the couple shared that one of their newborn babies, a baby boy named Angel dos Santos Aveiro, had died. "It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away," they wrote in an Instagram post on April 18, 2022. "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."

"We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you," they continued.

Four days later, the pair shared a family photo of their kids welcoming their daughter, Bella Esmeralda dos Santos Aveiro, at their home. "Home sweet home. Gio and our baby girl are finally together with us," the duo captioned the Instagram post. "We want to thank everyone for all the kind words and gestures. Your support is very important and we all felt the love and respect that you have for our family. Now it's time to be grateful for the life that we've just welcomed into this world. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻."
