'I will never be the same person again' - Georgina Rodriguez reveals she had three miscarriages before devastating baby loss

Georgina Rodriguez has revealed she suffered three miscarriages before the devastating loss her son last year.

Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend, 29, breaks down in tears as she opens up about her baby loss for the first time in her new Netflix show as she relives the moment she lost one of her twins during childbirth. She said she 'wasn’t prepared to accept or recognise' what had happened and Cristiano had to tell the other children of the heart-breaking loss.

Spanish news website El Español is reporting she speaks of her miscarriages during an “exclusive” viewing of the first episode of 'I Am Georgina.' Her daughter Bella Esmeralda with Ronaldo was born healthy in April last year at a hospital in Manchester but her male twin sibling Angel died.

Georgina revealed in the first episode of the second series, which premieres on March 24, according to El Español: “Every time I went to the gynaecologist’s at night I had nightmares because I was worried about what position they would be in, what the delivery would be like, if it would be a caesarean section.

“I was very afraid at each ultrasound, I felt very tense because I’d had three previous miscarriages and I came home in pieces." She describes her visits to the gynaecologist as “horrible, because I was always vomiting.”

The Argentinian-born Spaniard is also set to reveal she didn’t immediately tell her other children Angel had not survived and told them he would be born a little later than his sister, according to El Español. “They were born on Easter Monday. The most-awaited moment arrives and your heart stops," she said.

“Bella was born strong and healthy but a piece of my heart shattered. You ask yourself how you’re going to carry on. I wasn’t prepared to accept or recognise what had happened to me and I wasn’t ready to tell my children about it.

“As I still had a belly, I told them that Angel was still going to wait a bit to be born. Until Cris told them that Angel was in Heaven. That was a dose of reality.”

Between leaving hospital Georgina’s sister Ivana helped by removing the cot, Moses cradle and teddy bear the influencer had prepared for Angel at the Cheshire home she shared with Cristiano before the couple’s move to Saudi Arabia.

Admitting she has yet to come to terms with her loss, Georgina will say: “I will never be the same person again. Every time I look at Bella I ask myself, ‘Would Angel be like that?' The truth is I feel I am not ready to think about it, as if I still haven’t accepted it.

“I always say to my children, ‘Your little brother is in the sky, he doesn’t want to walk, he wants to fly. Every time you look at the sky, think of him.’”

Thanking her footballer partner for his “unconditional support and love” Georgina adds in the first chapter of her second series: “He has played a really important role. Gods put the right people in your path.”

She adds of her surviving twin daughter, one of two children she has with Cristiano although she treats his three children as if they were her own: “She has managed to fill to some extent that hole that is present in my life. When she’s older and we tell her what happened, she will be very proud of what she has achieved.”

Georgina cries in the official trailer released last week, which didn’t contain any of the latest admissions revealed by Spanish press, as she recalls last April’s trauma. The Argentinian-born beauty admits, as an adorable photo flashes up on screen of her lying in bed in hospital with Bella Esmeralda on her chest: “Life is hard, life goes on. I have reasons to move on and be strong.”

Praising her footballer partner for helping her get through the darkest period in their life together, she adds: “Cris really encouraged me to continue with my agenda. He said: ‘Gio, get on with your life, it’ll do you good.’ She goes on to say: “My priority right now is my family and my children. I’m so happy and thankful.”

The trailer also shows moments from Georgina’s 28th birthday will feature in the show, when Cristiano spent thousands of pounds on a light and laser show projected on Dubai’s famous Burj Khalifa tower. Georgina admits: “It’s really hard to surprise me” as the light and laser show is played out before admitting: “Cristiano is very thoughtful, really good to me. Cristiano’s the love of my life.”

In another part of the show she meets Spanish singer and songwriter Rosalia, who admits she was a fan of the first series of ‘I Am Georgina’ released on the influencer’s 28th birthday in January last year after hugging her and saying: “I watch your show. I love it.”

Georgina is also filmed getting a tattoo done which is thought to be the inking from last August in memory of the child she lost. The industrious former £10-an-hour shop worker, who now has 47 million followers on Instagram, is filmed saying: “I need to be working” during the 1.56 minute trailer for the second series of her hit Netflix show.

She also confesses: “I feel like a super mum, and superwoman” before adding alongside footage of her dancing romantically with Cristiano: “I’m a mother, I’m a sister, I’m a friend, I’m a woman, I’m Georgina’'.

The first series of Georgina’s popular Netflix show premiered in 190 countries around the world last year. Cristiano left Man United by mutual consent last November following his explosive interview with Piers Morgan in which he accused the club of betraying him and admitted he didn’t respect manager Erik ten Tag.

His £173 million-a-year move to Saudi Arabia after the World Cup made him the highest-paid sportsman ever. He scored a brilliant free-kick from 35 yards out yesterday as he inspired his current Al Nassr team to victory against rivals Abha in their Saudi Pro League match.
