Cristiano Ronaldo poses for first snap holding newborn baby girl Alana Martina
CRISTIANO RONALDO beams a smile as he poses for a picture with his newborn daughter Alana Martina.
The Real Madrid ace’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez gave birth to the baby girl earlier this month.
And Ronaldo, 32, is still clearly managing to balance fathering duties with his footballing schedule with ease after becoming a dad for the fourth time.
The four-time Ballon d-Or winner believes having a family is by far his greatest achievement – giving him clarity when he looks back at his life.
Just before the birth, he said: “Being a father is a unique and personal journey, something that has changed me completely.
“It’s taught me things about love that I never knew existed.
“It has softened me and given me a different perspective on what is really important in my life.
“I can’t wait to be a dad again. Being a father and seeing my family grow is without doubt the greatest privilege I’ve had.
“Spending time with them, being by their side, smiling and laughing with them.
“They’ve brought a lot of happiness and joy to my life.
“I can’t wait to be a dad again. Being a father and seeing my family grow is without doubt the greatest privilege I’ve had.
“Spending time with them, being by their side, smiling and laughing with them.”
