“It is with our deepest sadness that we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away,” Ronaldo said on his Instagram account, announcing the incident. It is the most excruciating anguish a parent can experience.

“Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.

“We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support. We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time.

“Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”
