Read Time:1 Minute, 18 Second

The soccer superstar and his girlfriend shared sweet snaps of the newborn baby girl three weeks after her twin brother tragically died during childbirth.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez made a bittersweet announcement on May 7, revealing the name of their newborn baby girl, whose twin brother tragically died three weeks ago. Taking to her Instagram, Georgina shared an adorable photo album of their precious daughter, whom they named Bella Esmeralda. The tiny tot is seen smiling in the snaps as she tries taking a nap with her cute baby blankets and stuffed animals.

The post comes after the Portuguese soccer star, 37, dedicated his 100th goal in the Premier League to his late son. During his match with Manchester United on April 23, Christiano scored the landmark goal against Arsenal in the first half and immediately threw his arm up and pointed to the sky in a heartbreaking celebration. He eyes appeared filled with tears as the supportive crowed cheered him on. Cristiano had returned to his team that day after a leave of absence following his and his girlfriend’s announcement of the passing of their baby.

Cristiano had previously skipped the Man U vs. Liverpool game on April 19, just one day after he announced his son’s passing. Fans of both teams honored Cristiano by clapping for a minute together and singing, “You’ll Never Walk Alone.” The heartfelt moment, which can be seen below, purposely occurred in the seventh minute of the game to coincidence with Cristiano’s No. 7 jersey number.
