Heartthrob and soccer maverick Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal) made a rather surprise announcement on his Facebook and Twitter accounts on Saturday – that he has just become a daddy of a baby boy. Ok Magazine reports that the 25-year old Portugal captain wrote, “It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy.” He then added that he would prefer privacy in the matter.

“As agreed with the baby’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship.”

Ronaldo’s mother, Delores, and sisters Elma and Katia would help to raise the child.

Latest reports say that the mother of the baby was a surrogate whom he hired to bear his child.

Whatever the case, congratulations, Ronaldo! At least that is something to look forward to after causing a lot of disappointment among fans after his performance against Spain this World Cup.
