Cristiano Ronaldo announced to his 360 million Instagram followers on Thursday that he and his partner, Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez, are expecting twins.

The couple wrote on social media: "Delighted to announce we are expecting twins. Our hearts are full of love - we can't wait to meet you."
Ronaldo and Rodriguez, 27, have a three-year-old daughter Alana together, and Ronaldo also has an 11-year-old son named Cristiano Jnr.
