“Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness,” he continued, adding to the end: “Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”
Rodriguez, who is from Argentina, has been the longtime partner of Ronaldo after they met while he was playing for Real Madrid in 2016.
