Cristiano Ronaldo announces girlfriend is pregnant with his fourth child - just weeks after birth of twins

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has finally confirmed his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez is pregnant after months of rumours.

He confirmed the happy news to newspaper El Mundo.

He was asked if he was “happy” to have another child on the way, he replied: “Yes, very much.”

Dad-of-three Ronaldo, 32, also said his newborn babies are “precious” and that he has a lot to learn when it comes to changing their nappies.

"I do not get on very well, but I try," he laughed when questioned about his diaper-changing skills.

The news comes just weeks after he welcomed baby twins Eva Maria and Mateo on June 8.

There was speculation over their birth as Ronaldo had not mentioned who their mother was, and it was rumoured that he'd used a surrogate mum to carry the twins as he did for his firstborn, Cristiano Jr.

Those rumours were later confirmed when documents relating to their birth were unearthed in Caifornia.

Cristiano and Georgina first met in the summer of 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, where they struck up conversation and exchanged contact details.

While they didn't go public immediately with their romance, the 22-year-old dancer and model supported her boyfriend at the FIFA Football Awards in January 2016, looking breathtaking in a little black dress and posing for pictures alongside Cristiano and his six-year-old son.

Georgina - who has signed with a top modelling agency - was by his side when Madeira Airport was named after him back in March.

The star was born in Funchal, the capital of the Portuguese island, and was honoured after becoming Portugal's most successful footballer.For weeks it's been claimed Ronaldo and Georgina were expecting their first child together, after she was spotted with a hand on her bump.

In pictures taken in early July while the couple were on holiday, Georgina's pronounced stomach could clearly be seen in her clingy maxi dress - which did nothing to pour cold water on the rumours.

Both she and Ronaldo have been careful with the images they share on social media, although Georgina appeared in a family shot on Ronaldo's Instagram account cuddling one of the twins with her bump fully exposed to the camera just last week.

It's thought Georgina could be between five and six months' pregnant.
