It is an ordeal that will forever mark the life of Cristiano Ronaldo and even today the footballer is going through complicated times. On April 18, he and his partner Georgina Rodriguez posted a moving message on social networks to indicate the death of their son during childbirth. “It is with the greatest sadness that we have to announce that our baby has died. It is the greatest pain any parent can feel.”they wrote to announce the news.
A very complicated moment for the whole family, who had to show solidarity and were also able to count on many supports and even the most unexpected. Earlier this week, Cristiano Ronaldo gave an interview to journalist Piers Morgan in which he rarely lets loose and reveals many things about the past few months. He notably revealed the very nice attention of the royal family, who sent him a letter of condolence after the loss of his boy. He also spoke of his children and the difficulty in telling them of the disappearance of their little brother. “After a week, I said to myself: ‘Let’s be frank, and let’s be honest with the children, let’s say that, Ángel, that’s his name, went to heaven'”said the fivefold Ballon d’Or.
Angel now rests next to Cristiano’s father
If he did not have the chance to know his son, the 37-year-old footballer is still marked by his presence. “What I like the most is that Ángel is still part of their life. I’m not going to lie to my children, but it was a difficult process”, he admits during this interview which made a lot of talk. If he considers this ordeal as “the most difficult moment of his life”Cristiano Ronaldo wanted to keep the ashes of his late son with him and as he reveals in the interview, he keeps them in a chapel at his home, right next to those of his father, José Dinis Aveiro, who died in 2005 from liver disease.
Still bruised by the death of his son, Cristiano Ronaldo can nevertheless find comfort with his family and in particular with his little Bella Esmeralda, who must certainly bring him a lot of happiness.
