Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez is pregnant with his fourth child following months of speculation.
The 32-year-old was asked by Spanish news outlet El Mundo whether he was ‘happy’ to have another child on the way, he replied: ‘Yes, very much.’
Georgina, 23, has been pictured sporting a small bump in recent months, but her mother had previously denied she was expecting.
The footballer legend has only just welcomed two new additions to his growing family following the birth of twins Mateo and Eva in June.
A couple of weeks ago, Ronaldo posted an Instagram photo standing above an assortment of family members including oldest son Cristiano Jr, sisters Elma and Katia Aveiro, older brother Hugo, mother Maria Dolores and nephew Rodrigo.
Georgina was also present, and gave credence to the now-confirmed pregnancy rumours by revealing her prominent belly as she cradled one of the twins.
Georgina, who began dating the footballer last year, is already thought to be close to Ronaldo’s twins, who are his second and third children (Cristiano Jr is seven now).
Ronaldo has admitted his newborn babies are ‘precious’ after Eva and Mateo were born via surrogate.
While the identity of his son’s mother has remained a mystery, past reports have claimed that she lived in San Diego and was allegedly paid £10million by the footballer.
Cristiano confirmed the birth of the twins officially via a Facebook post, following days of rumours.
The footballer shared the first heartwarming photograph of his twins on June 29 which he captioned: ‘Happy to be able to hold the two new loves of my life.’
A source told a Portuguese newspaper: ‘They are very happy with the arrival of the baby. Everyone adores Georgina and are satisfied with this relationship.’
Georgina is said to have caught the Portuguese heartthrob’s eye in the VIP section of a recent Dolce & Gabbana party.
It is said that they dated in secret for a few months, before going public with their romance by enjoying a date at Disneyland Paris in November.
The couple then first stepped out together publicly at the beginning of the year, when they attended the FIFA Football Awards in Zurich.
It has been reported the twins are a boy and girl, however, in one of Ronaldo’s earlier Facebook posts, the heartthrob implied both babies were male.
After Portugal failed to beat Chile in the semi-finals of the Confederations Cup tournament, he wrote: ‘I was in the service of the national team, as always, body and soul, even though my two sons were born.
‘Unfortunately, we have not been able to achieve the main sporting objective that we wanted, but I am sure we will continue to give joy to the Portuguese.
‘The President of the Portuguese Football Federation and the national picker have today had an attitude that has touched me and I will not forget.
‘I’m very happy to finally be with my children for the first time.’
