Last month, the athlete shared a gallery of family photos on Instagram enjoying sunny weather outside in Manchester, smiling while his four kids played on and around him.

His caption roughly translates to, "Who says there is no sun in Manchester?" and includes the hashtag "#blessedfamily."

Ronaldo has four children. The oldest, Cristiano Junior, was born on 17 June 2010 in America.

A surrogate mother then gave birth to a pair of Ronaldo’s twins, daughter Eva and son Mateo, on 8 June 2017, also in America.

Ronaldo also has a child with Rodriguez – Alana Martina, who was born on 12 November 2017.

The birth of the twins will see Ronaldo become the father of six children. Rodriguez already shares daughter Alana, who is three, with the 36-year-old, and Ronaldo has a son named Cristiano Jr. 11, and twins Eva and Mateo, both four.
