Ronaldo announced in October that he and Rodriguez were expecting twins.

Ronaldo has five other children—11-year-old Cristiano Jr., four-year-old twins Eva and Mateo, four-year-old Alana Martina and his newborn baby girl.

On April 3, he posted an image of Rodriguez and his children on Instagram with the caption, "Family is everything."
