While mourning the loss of his son, Cristiano Ronaldo is looking ahead to life with his newborn daughter. The soccer star took to Instagram on Thursday with a photo of him and his partner, Georgina Rodríguez, along with his five children.
The photo is the first Ronaldo has shared of their baby girl since her birth and since the death of her twin brother.
"Home sweet home. Gio and our baby girl are finally together with us," the athlete captioned the photo. "We want to thank everyone for all the kind words and gestures. Your support is very important and we all felt the love and respect that you have for our family."
He concluded, "Now it’s time to be grateful for the life that we’ve just welcomed into this world."

The parents also expressed their gratitude to healthcare workers. "We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support," they noted.
