Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo has shared a lovely photo of his daughter and himself on his social media handle, celebrating her on her very first birthday.
The Al-Nassr star Cristiano Ronaldo taking to his official Instagram handle on Tuesday 18th April 2023, posted a snap of himself holding Bella in his arms with a grin on his face. He captioned the heartwarming image with these lovely words:
“Happy first year of life my love. Daddy loves you very much!”
Ronaldo, 38, and his partner Georgina Rodriguez, 29, gave birth to Bella on April 18, 2022. She was born in a hospital in Manchester England, but her male twin sibling, Angel, unfortunately died during birth.
The couple explained in a statement on Instagram that Bella’s birth gave them strength in their moment of need:
“Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.“
Ronaldo’s family now resides in Riyadh after the iconic forward’s groundbreaking move to Al Nassr in January. They’re loving life in Saudi Arabia, as the former Real Madrid and Manchester United legend has taken to Saudi football with ease.
The legendary striker has bagged 11 goals and two assists in 12 games since arriving at Mrsool Park. His family have been alongside him every step of the way.
Cristiano Ronaldo explained in November last year that there were concerns regarding Bella’s health when she came down with bronchitis. He missed Manchester United’s pre-season tour due to the same reason (via N-TV):
“During my vacation, my youngest daughter, Bella Esmeralda, had bronchitis. It was complicated; we were in the hospital for a week.”
However, Bella made a recovery and is now regularly seen in loving pictures posted by Ronaldo and Rodriguez on their Instagram accounts.
