MANCHESTER, England -- Cristiano Ronaldo took to social media on Monday to say one of his newborn twins has died.
``It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away,'' the Manchester United striker wrote in a post also signed by his partner, Georgina Rodriguez.
``It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel.''
Ronaldo announced last year that the couple was expecting twins.
``Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness,'' he wrote on the social-media post.
``We are all devastated at this loss,'' the post added, ``and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.''
Ronaldo already had four children.
