Georgina Rodriguez and the 32-year-old footballer - who also has twins Eva and Mateo, and seven-year-old son Cristiano Jr. - welcomed daughter Alana into the world last month and the youngster has brought the couple "closer".

She said: "It has definitely brought us closer. We're happier together than ever.

"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. This is a very special time for us all."

Following Alana's birth, the Real Madrid star set up a surprise dinner to welcome his newborn daughter and girlfriend home.

Georgina said: "I'm very proud of him. When we got home from hospital, he'd organised a surprise dinner, with all our nearest and dearest. I felt like the luckiest woman in the world."

The 22-year-old star admitted she feels "loved and cared for" with Cristiano.

She added to HELLO! magazine: "I have found love. We complement each other very well. We have a beautiful relationship and when I have him beside me, I have everything. I feel loved and cared for. Love conquers all."

Cristiano became a father for the fourth time following the birth of Alana.

He has never revealed the mother of his son, Cristiano Jr., and his twins are believed to have been born via a surrogate in the US earlier this year.
