But the Manchester United ace revealed that their baby boy sadly passed away as celebrities paid tributes online.
On May 7, the couple revealed they have named the baby girl Bella.
To date, Ronaldo has five children, with three of the children born to two surrogate mothers.
His first son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, 11, was born on June 17, 2010, in the United States.
Cristiano Jr's family nickname is Cristianinho, which means "little Cristiano".
Following in his father's footsteps, Ronaldo Jr has started playing football at youth level and is already impressing with his goal return.
On April, 14, 2022, he was captured executing his dad's trademark "Siuuu" celebration while playing for Manchester United's Under-12s.
The young ace has also reportedly played alongside Wayne Rooney's eldest son Kai at times as well.
In June 2017, it was revealed that Ronaldo had fathered twins via a surrogate mother in the United States.

They said in a statement: "It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away.
"It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel.
"Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.
"Baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you."
Who is Cristiano Jr’s mother?
The identity of Cristiano Junior's mother is unknown, but Ronaldo Senior has full custody of his son with reports suggesting that his mother was paid £10million.
Ronaldo told chat show host Jonathan Ross: "People speculate I was with this girl or another, or there was a surrogate mother. I have never told anyone and never will.
"When Cristiano [Junior] is going to grow up, I am always going to say the truth to him because he deserves it, because he is my son, but I am not going to say because people want me to say."
Who is Georgina Rodriguez?
Georgina is the mother of Ronaldo's fourth child Alana and his yet to be named baby daughter.
She was born on January 27, 1994, in Jaca, Spain to a Spanish mum and Argentine dad.
Georgina learned dance before changing careers to modelling after studying English in London.
The 29-year-old was first spotted on a string of dates with then-Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo towards the end of 2016.
Georgina has claimed that her first meeting with the football star was "love at first sight."
"Our first meeting was at Gucci, where I worked as a sales assistant," she recalled in an interview with The Sun .
"Days later, we saw each other again at another brand's event.
"It was then that we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside my work environment. It was love at first sight for both."
