Cristiano Ronaldo has announced he has become a father and a single dad to booth. The Real Madrid winger is refusing to name the mother of his son though.

Ronaldo who failed to produce the goods in South Africa and his girlfriend Irina Shayk who is not the mother posted messages on Facebook revealing that he is going to bring up the child himself.

Ronaldo tweeted: “It’s with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become a father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship.

Ronaldo who captained Portugal in South Africa is said to be over the moon with his son’s arrival, the only question now is who will spit the dummy first. Portugal were knocked out in the second round of the World Cup by Spain and after the game Ronaldo was seen to have spat at the camera’s as he walked off the field in what he says was an act of frustration and disappointment. Now that he has become a Dad maybe we will see a much maturer person but I doubt that very much.

Anyway good luck to them both.
