Cristiano Ronaldo cosies up to his four children in the bathtub


He juggles his busy schedule as a forward for Serie A club Juventus with being a doting parent to his four children.

And Cristiano Ronaldo proved family comes first as he enjoyed some quality time with his kids Cristiano Jr, nine, twins Eva and Mateo, two, and Alana – his daughter with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez – also two, in the bathtub.

In a cute snap posted to Instagram on Monday, the award-winning footballer, 34, was hailed as ‘family goals’ by his social media followers as he beamed with delight alongside his cheery brood.

The Portugal ace tapped into full relaxation mode in the adorable image, which he captioned: ‘Funny moment with my babies’, following his triumphant match against S.P.A.L over the weekend. 

Later into the day, the media personality showcased his competitive side as he went up against his partner Georgina, 26, for a game of tennis.

In November, the sportsman stepped forward to shoot down rumours he’d tied the knot with trained dancer Georgina during a secret ceremony in North Africa.

But in January, he landed at the centre of such speculation once again when Georgina referred to him as her ‘husband’ in a gushing post celebrating her 26th birthday.

Sharing a snapshot of herself and Ronaldo posing with their children, Georgina wrote: ‘Happy 2️⃣6️⃣ for me, very happy. I can’t ask life more. Just a lot of health for my family and me and to always enjoy them. 

‘Thank you all for your congratulations, flowers and therefore love ✨ And Thank you to my husband for giving me the best of life, our children. I love you.’

In Spanish, ‘marido’ is often used to describe a common law husband, while ‘esposo’ is more commonly employed as a description for a legally wed male. 

When contacted by MailOnline, representatives for Cristiano declined to comment.

The former shop assistant also uploaded a selection of images of her having a fun-filled time with the couple’s children, who were seen wearing costumes and masks. 

Georgina’s reference to the star as her husband, ‘marido’ in Spanish, has all but reignited speculation that the couple have quietly married. 

Speculation was rife that the media personality had quietly exchanged vows with the former shop assistant, following a report from Novella 2000 magazine in Italy, where Ronaldo plays for Juventus FC.

But sources close to the Portugal captain have denied the rumours, branding all talk of the purported late August ceremony ‘fake news’.   

Rumours of a wedding comes just months after Ronaldo, who has been dating Georgina since 2016, revealed plans to marry the brunette – which he insists would be his mother Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro’s dream. 

Speaking to Piers Morgan during an interview with ITV, he said: ‘She helped me so much. Of course I’m in love with her. We’ll be (married) one day, for sure. It’s my mum’s dream as well. 

‘So, one day. Why not? It’s great. She’s my friend. We have conversations. I open the heart for her and she opens the heart for me.’
