Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister has penned a heartbreaking message following the tragic death of the football star’s son, and her post has gone viral.
Katia Aveiro, 44, took to Instagram shortly after it was confirmed in a statement that Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, 28, had lost their twin boy during childbirth.
She said the ‘little angel’ was ‘already on daddy’s lap,’ in reference to their father, Dinis, who died in September 2005.
