"A piece of my heart flew away" - Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez opens up on devastation after losing baby boy
Cristiano Ronaldo's partner Georgina Rodriguez recently opened up on the trauma caused after she lost her twin son, Angel, during childbirth last year.
Rodriguez is one of the most talked-about female influencers in the world. The Spanish model, who boasts nearly 50 million followers on Instagram and has a net worth of $13 million, started dating the iconic footballer in 2016.
The 29-year-old has experienced luxury and success as a businesswoman and an influencer. However, not everything has been positive for her.
On April 18, 2022, Rodriguez and Ronaldo were expecting twins — a baby boy and a girl. However, the couple revealed that while the female twin Bella Esmeralda had survived, her twin brother Angel passed away during childbirth.
During Season 2 of the Netflix series 'Soy Georgina', she recounted the painful tragedy (via Harper’s Bazaar Saudi):
“It’s like I’m not ready to accept it yet,” she admits tearfully, “a piece of my heart flew away.”
The couple currently reside in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, along with their five children Cristiano Jr (13), twins Mateo (6) and Eva Maria (6), Alana Martina (5), and Bella (1).
Their relocation from Europe to the Middle East was due to Cristiano Ronaldo joining Saudi Pro League side, Al-Nassr, in January on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
