Cristiano Ronaldo, known for his competitive spirit and football prowess, took a moment to show his more tender side as he celebrated his daughter Bella’s third birthday on social media.
The Al-Nassr star posted an emotional message to mark the milestone, proving once again that beneath the tough exterior of a football legend, there’s a doting father who values family above all else.
A Sweet Birthday Tribute
Ronaldo shared a touching photo on Instagram featuring him and Bella embracing on the grass, smiling lovingly at each other. The image was a beautiful representation of their close bond.
In his caption, Ronaldo wrote, “Happy birthday, my love! Our love is always with you,” leaving his fans in awe of his affectionate side.
Bella is the youngest of Ronaldo’s children with his partner, model and social media personality Georgina Rodríguez.
Together, they have built a beautiful family, and Bella is undoubtedly the apple of their eye.
The Family Journey of Ronaldo and Rodríguez
Ronaldo and Georgina met in 2016 when she was working at a Gucci store in Madrid while Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid.
The couple’s first daughter was born in November 2017, and just a few years later, they joyfully announced that they were expecting twins.
In April 2022, they welcomed their twins, with Bella being the surviving twin after the heartbreaking loss of their baby boy during childbirth.
The couple shared their grief on Instagram, saying, “It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel.”
A Growing Family and a Competitive Spirit
Along with Bella, Ronaldo has three other children. His first son, born in June 2010, and the twins born in June 2017 are all raised by Georgina as her own.
As a father, Ronaldo has often shared glimpses of his competitive side, especially when it comes to activities with his children.
In an interview last year, he revealed how his competitive nature extends to his home life.
“I play padel every day with Cristiano Jr, and we get mad at each other sometimes.
We don’t speak for like two days,” he laughed. “But it’s a good thing. It shows they have personality.
My kids are like me—they see by example. When I lose, I get angry, sometimes even cry. I always want to win. I don’t give anything for free.”
For Ronaldo, his family is just as important as his career, and it’s clear that he enjoys seeing his children grow into strong-willed individuals, ready to take on challenges, just like their father.
