In an interview in 2017, Cristiano Ronaldo talked about how he feels about being a father and said that fatherhood has "softened" him in various ways and taught him things about love that he never knew. The football player shared that fatherhood has given him a new perspective on what matters in life and that seeing his family grow up happy and healthy is the greatest privilege he has.

Cristiano Ronaldo met Georgina Rodriguez at a Gucci store in Madrid, where she worked as a shop assistant, and she opened up about her relationship with the football player in an interview for Grazia, saying that she was trembling in front of him when she met him for the first time. Georgina admitted that she is very shy and perhaps that was the reason why she was trembling in front of Cristiano Ronaldo. She further shared that he cares for her, loves her and she is very grateful for everything they share.

The football player is not going to play Manchester United's Premier League fixture and the news was confirmed by Manchester United in a statement that read that Cristiano Ronaldo is going through a tough time right now and will not feature in the match against Liverpool at Anfield and has requested for some privacy as the family mourns and heals. 

We send our deepest condolences to the parents!
