Cristiano Ronaldo’s mum first to congratulate Man Utd ace and Georgina Rodriguez after they reveal they’re having twins

CRISTIANO RONALDO’s doting mum was one of the first to congratulate him on his baby news.

Minutes after the Manchester United striker, 36, announced to the world his partner Georgina Rodriguez was pregnant with twins, Dolores Aveiro wrote on his Instagram: “Let my grandchildren be born healthy. That’s what matters the most."

Dolores, who suffered a life-threatening stroke last year, posted the twins’ ultrasounds on an Instagram Story around the same time along with an applause emoji.

The footballer’s two sisters have yet to react on social media, although Katia Aveiro showed earlier in the day her two children are big fans of their uncle - posting footage of them playing football while wearing 'Ronaldo 7' Manchester United shirts.

Georgina’s elder sister Ivana, who confirmed in July she was expecting her first child with her painter and sculptor partner Carlos Garcia, also congratulated the footballer and his partner, writing: “Congratulations, family.”

Ivana, daughter of an Argentine former footballer and a Spanish mum thought to live in Catalonia, revealed her own happy news to the world earlier this year.

A video posted from a beach in Gijon had the words ‘Baby is coming’ written with pebbles in the sand.

She told partner Carlos Garcia in a message along the homemade footage ‘I love you’, describing the news as a miracle and the surprise of her life.

Ivana went on to post a selfie at the same beach with the father of the unborn child on the same beach, writing: "Miracle of life. We are waiting for you little one", in Spanish before adding in English: “We are waiting… our little angel.”

Cristiano and Georgina's baby news is bound to spark more speculation the couple will now tie the knot.

The stunning brunette confesses in a yet-to-air Netflix documentary that she wants to marry her superstar partner and will say ‘yes’ when he asks for her hand in marriage.

The 27-year-old-beauty, who has a three-year-old daughter with the United and Portuguese hero and plays mum to his other three children, makes the stunning revelation during the documentary about her life.

Asked by friends when she was going to marry the former shop worker, Georgina confesses: “It doesn’t depend on me…..I wish.”

Ronaldo’s singer-turned-influencer sister Katia Aveiro, who now lives in Brazil, also sent her love with the message: ‘Strong one our family’.

Even Hollywood A-lister Antonio Banderas was among those who posted his congratulations to the couple on their social media.

Georgina prepared for the birth of the couple’s first child, Alana Martina in 2017, with a strict Mediterranean diet.

She said in an interview in Spanish glossy magazine Hola: “In my day to day life, I like to take care of myself doing sport and eating a balanced diet.

“I try to eat natural products and avoid heavy meals and follow a Mediterranean diet.

“I don’t follow a strict diet as such because I do love a treat now and again.”

Cristiano has in the past claimed he wanted to take his tally of children to seven, making a match in Heaven for the footballer’s CR7 fashion brand.

Speaking during an interview in China in July 2017, when he had just three kids, he was quoted by Portugese daily Correio da Manha as saying: “My eldest Cristianinho is very happy.

“He’s doing well and says he wants more brothers and sisters. He wants seven, the magic number, and I think that’s good.”
