Cristiano Ronaldo has 'fathered twins with surrogate mum'

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo has become a father to twins with a surrogate mother, Portuguese media reported.

Reports said the babies -- a girl and boy named Eva and Mateo -- were born on Thursday to a woman living on the US West Coast.

According to AFP, British tabloid The Sun had reported in March that the quadruple Ballon d'Or winner was expecting twins.

The 32-year-old striker is currently dating Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez.

The captain Portugal had his first son Cristiano Junior in June 2010 -- also reportedly with a surrogate mother, although he has never confirmed it.
