A seven-year-old, newborn twins and rumours of another baby on the way

Ronaldo's Growing Brood

CRADLING one of his newborn twins, he grins down at his eldest son, who beams up at him while balancing the other tiny tot on his lap. With a famous footballer father and a big brother to watch over them, the month-old twins truly are “blessed” – as their dad captioned the sweet snap.

Cristiano Ronaldo recently shared the picture with his 105 million Instagram followers while on holiday with his newly expanded brood. But there was someone conspicuously absent from the photo: the 32-year-old Real Madrid hero’s girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez (22), who’s rumoured to be five months pregnant with Ronaldo’s fourth child.

Ronaldo’s growing collection of kids has had critics flooding his social media feeds with nasty comments.

“Did he have these and pay the mom to go away again?” one wrote, while another said bluntly, “It’s weird to me that this man can’t or doesn’t want to find a woman to have a family with the natural way.”

And plenty of commenters pointed out the obvious too: why ask someone else to bear your children when you’re in a committed relationship with a beautiful woman?

So just what is going on in Ronaldo’s life? We take a look.

THE ‘SUPERBABY’

If rumours are to be believed, Spanish model Georgina is carrying the newest addition to the four-time Ballon D’Or winner’s brood. According to the tabloids this is no ordinary kid but a genetically engineered “superbaby”. Georgina was recently snapped sporting a little bump under her tight grey dress while on holiday in Corsica with Ronaldo.
