Cristiano Ronaldo announces he has become dad of three as he confirms the birth of twins via a surrogate mother in America
Real Maldrid star, Cristiano Ronaldo has been released by Portugal to celebrate the birth of his twins.
Earlier this month, reports in Portugal backed up The Sun’s exclusive revelation that the superstar was due to have children via a surrogate mother.
But there had been no official confirmation until Cristiano Ronaldo, 32, was allowed to leave the Confederations Cup following a semi-final exit to Chile.
He confirmed on Facebook: “I was with the national team, giving my everything as always, despite knowing my children had been born.
“Unfortunately, we couldn’t reach our main sporting objective, but I am certain we will continue to make the Portuguese people happy.
“The president of the Portuguese Football Federation and the national team manager were considerate towards me and it is something which I will never forget.
“I am very happy to finally be with my children for the first time.”
An official statement said: “The president of the Portuguese Football Association and the manager were informed before the Confederations Cup that the national captain Cristiano Ronaldo had become a father.
