Family man: While the duo have only been dating for one year, Ronaldo recently revealed he is hoping for a jaw-dropping seven children

Cristiano - who previously dated Bradley Cooper's girlfriend Irina Shayk for five years - reportedly boosts his colossal income by a staggering £310,000 through sponsorship every time he posts a picture or film on Instagram.

Counting himself and his athletic girlfriend, the Real Madrid player is just five players short of his own football team, but says he's hoping for seven children in total.

Georgina and Cristiano began dating last year, and confirmed they were welcoming their first child in July.

The news came shortly after the footballer announced he had welcomed twins via surrogate with a sweet Instagram post.

There has been endless speculation because Ronaldo, 32, remains unmarried and he has not identified the twins’ mother.

Similar intrigue still surrounds the birth, seven years ago, of their older brother, Cristiano Junior.

The Daily Mail revealed in July that the twins were conceived in a laboratory and born to a surrogate mother.

This was ascertained from the publicly accessible case file in the Superior Court of California, San Diego, where part of Ronaldo’s surname, dos Santos Aveiro, was misspelt.

The twins were born at the Sharp Grossmont Hospital - Mateo arrived first, at 9.07am; sister Eva Maria came into the world one minute later.

The surrogate’s name has been left blank on both birth certificates, prompting speculation that the twins might have been carried by two separate mothers.

22-year-old Georgia is the only biological mother of Cristiano's children that is publicly known and they are now in a relationship.

She now says the couple are now 'happier than ever' and that their daughter has brought them closer.

In an interview withHello!, the 22-year-old said: '[The baby] has definitely brought [Cristiano and I] closer. We're happier together than ever.'

Despite only sharing one child with the the Real Madrid star, Georgina revealed his four kids are the couple's 'joy' and main priority in life.

She said: 'The children are our joy. We wake up and the first thing we do is hug and kiss them, put them in their little chairs and watch them while they have their breakfast, make sure they have everything they need, and so on all day long.'

Before adding sweetly: 'This is a very special time for us all.'

The proud dad recently admitted his eldest son wants six siblings, making a match in heaven for Cristiano's CR7 fashion brand named after his initials and his football shirt number.

He is said to have made the admission during a Chinese TV interview picked up by papers in Portugal, as daily paper Correio da Manha quoted the star to say: 'Cristiano is very happy. He's doing well.

'He wants more brothers and sisters. He wants seven, the magic number, and I think that’s good.'
