Rodriguez was due to welcome twins but unfortunately, they lost their son, Angel, during childbirth.

Ronaldo, who is also the father to twins Eva Maria and Mateo, Alana Martina, and Cristiano Junior said: “Happy first year of life my love. Daddy loves you very much.”

The five-time Champions League winner (Four times with Real Madrid and once with Manchester United) at the time of the grief had shared the sad news in an Instagram post 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 parent can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness."

Speaking on TalkTV after the tragic incident, the 38-year-old had also narrated that the healing journey was not a walk in the park and he disclosed that he keeps the ashes of his son in a chapel in the basement. 

The place is also where the remains of his dad Jose Dinis Aveiro, who died in 2005, are also kept.
