With excitement mounting over Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez's reported nuptials in his native Madeira, the couple's family life remains at the centre of their story. Throughout their ten-year relationship, the football superstar and model have built a blended family made up of six children - whom they frequently describe as their greatest "blessings" in life.
From eldest son Cristiano Jr. following in his father's sporting footsteps to younger siblings Eva Maria, Mateo, Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda, the children are a constant presence across the couple's joint social media and reality project I Am Georgina.
The family also holds a special place in their hearts for Bella's twin brother, Angel, who tragically passed away shortly after birth in 2022.
As the pair prepare to take their next big step together, here is everything to know about their young children supporting them along the way.
