Ronaldo posts photo of his newborn twin children

Sports Desk: Football star Cristiano Ronaldo posted a heartwarming photograph of his newborn twins on Thursday and wrote: 'Happy to be able to hold the two new loves of my life.'

The 32-year-old, who suffered professional disappointment on Wednesday night when Portugal were knocked out of the Confederations Cup, returned home to celebrate his personal joy.

Ronaldo, who has scored 285 league goals in 241 games for Real Madrid, was unable to meet his son and daughter due to football commitments but finally held them for the first time on Thursday.

The Ballon d'Or winner shared the sweet photograph of him holding his children, believed to be called Mateo and Eva, while sat on his sofa.

The birth means Ronaldo is now a father-of-three and they join their older brother, seven-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo Jnr.

Ronaldo was only able to meet the twins for the first time on Thursday as he had been away with Portugal at the Confederations Cup, where they were beaten in the semi-finals on penalties by Chile.

He confirmed their birth officially for the first time after that game via a Facebook post, following days of rumours.

It comes a month after it emerged his family could grow with his 22-year-old girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez rumoured to be pregnant.
