The Ronaldo family had a heartbreaking wish for the twins in October 2021.
Cristiano Ronaldo and his other half, Georgina Rodriguez, recently told fans the devastating news that their baby boy died after welcoming newborn twins.
The Manchester United footballer and his girlfriend Georgina have been flooded with messages of sympathy and support from friends and fans since the announcement.
Months prior to the newborn’s passing, when Georgina was five months pregnant in December 2021, the family enjoyed a gender reveal party, in which they posted a video of their four other children popping confetti-filled balloons.

One balloon burst and released blue confetti, while another released pink, hinting that the couple were expecting a boy and a girl.
At the time, their kids shouted “it’s a boy” and “it’s a girl” after Georgina gave a countdown and then cheers in the video.
Cristiano captioned the sweet video: "Where life begins and love never ends".
