Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo expecting twins via surrogate mother

The babies are due to be born at any moment, and the mother is said to live on the west coast of the United States, according to an anonymous source from the star player's family.

He already has a son, six-year-old Cristiano Junior, via a surrogate mother.

“Cristiano and his family are very excited about meeting the new members of the clan,” the unnamed source said.

CR7, as he is known by his Real Madrid player number, has always been fiercely protective of his private life, but the family member in question said the 32-year-old had decided it was 'the right moment' for Cristiano Junior to have brothers or sisters.

The identity of the Portuguese striker's son's natural mother is unknown, and it is likely the mother of his twins will remain anonymous, too.

Ronaldo is currently dating Spanish model Georgina Rodríguez, 23, having split up from his long-term girlfriend, Russian model Irina Shayk, last year.
