They said they felt “all the love” after their baby boy’s death.
Ronaldo wrote: “Home sweet home. Gio and our baby girl are finally together with us.
“We want to thank everyone for all the kind words and gestures.”
The Portugal star and Ms Rodriguez on Monday described the death of their son as the “greatest pain that any parent can feel”.
“Only the birth of our baby girl gives us strength to live this this moment with some hope and happiness,” they said.
