Ronaldo announced last year that the couple was expecting twins.
“Only the birth of our girl gives us the strength to live in this moment with a little hope and happiness,” he wrote in the post on social media.
“We are all devastated by this loss,” the post added, “and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our little boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”
Ronaldo already had four children.
