AFP: Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has become a father to twins with a surrogate mother, Portuguese media reported Saturday.
Reports said the babies - a girl and boy named Eva and Mateo - were born on Thursday to a woman living on the US West Coast.
The captain of Portugal’s victorious Euro 2016 team had his first son Cristiano Junior in June 2010 - also reportedly with a surrogate mother, although he has never confirmed it.
British tabloid The Sun had reported in March that the quadruple Ballon d’Or winner was expecting twins.
The 32-year-old striker is currently dating Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez.
The reports come after a twin-heavy week in the celebrity world, after George Clooney and his human rights lawyer wife Amal welcomed newborns Ella and Alexander.
