Cristiano Ronaldo Shares Beautiful Message on His Daughter’s First Birthday

• Cristiano Ronaldo has celebrated his daughter turning one year old
• The daughter is his lastborn with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez
• It has been one year since the couple lost a baby son in childbirth

Cristiano Ronaldo has composed a very beautiful message to his lastborn daughter, who has turned one. He took to his social media accounts to express his love for Bella Esmeralda dos Santos Aveiro.

Bella was born last year in what was a bittersweet moment for the family as they were expecting twins - the other child, a son, sadly passed on during childbirth.

Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez have previously talked about the pain they endured at that time but, at the same time, reiterated that Bella gave them the strength to carry on.

"It was probably the worst moment that I passed through in my life since my father died. When you have a kid, you expect that everything will be normal, and you have that problem. It’s hard... we had quite difficult moments because we don’t understand why it happened to us," the veteran told Piers Morgan.

He added the birth of the couple's baby girl had given them the strength to live through the moment.

The baby girl has now turned one year to which Ronaldo celebrated with a message, translated as follows:

"Happy first year of life, my love. Daddy loves you very much!"

He is currently spearheading the team's Saudi Pro League ambitions as captain, so far scoring 11 goals and providing two assists.

After uploading a photo of himself in the sauna on Instagram recently, hawk-eyed followers spotted the five-time Ballon d'Or winner had his toenails painted.

From a quick glance at his social media accounts, this is obviously not a one-time thing: Ronaldo regularly paints his toenails and for a somewhat unusual reason.
