The Portugal international and Real Madrid superstar is rumoured to have fathered twins called Mateo and Eva
CRISTIANO RONALDO shows off his sculpted body poolside - as reports claimed his mum Dolores left home on a mystery trip just a day before the Real Madrid superstar's surrogate twins were reportedly born.
The European Championship and Champions League winner donned some skimpy shorts as he hung out by his pool at home.
He also added the caption: "Just relax and enjoy the view."
The former Manchester United player was recently rumoured to have become the father of surrogate twins.
According to Portuguese TV channel SIC, the children, a boy and a girl called Eva and Mateo, were born on Thursday.
There was no immediate official confirmation of the news from the footballer or his agents.
But Cristiano’s doting mum Dolores Aveiro fuelled speculation she had flown to the States to pick up his new babies after posting on her Instagram page: "Preparada para partir" - which translates to “Ready to leave” alongside emoticons of planes and hearts on the eve of the reported double birth.
The mum-of-five was tasked with collecting her six-year-old grandson Cristiano Jr from hospital in America after he was born in June 2010.
She revealed in an approved biography published in July 2014 in Portugal that she had picked the footballer’s new-born son up from a private hospital in Florida.
While images emerged of CR7's girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, in which she appears to show off a growing baby bump.
Cristiano, who was playing in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa when his mum made that trip, was in action for Portugal against Latvia the day after his twins were reportedly born.
He scored two goals either side of half-time in his side’s 3-0 away win to aid his country's qualification hopes.
The goals also elevated the forward to third in the list of of all-time European goalscorers at international level with 73 goals.
There has also been recent speculation that his girlfriend is pregnant.
The Sun told you in March that Ronaldo, currently dating Spanish beauty Georgina Rodriguez, was due to become the father of twins.
It said a surrogate mother on the west coast of the US was heavily pregnant and was expecting the babies "very soon."
And it was reported that the twins would be flown to his £5 million mansion near Madrid.
Ronaldo stunned the world in July 2010 by announcing on Twitter and Facebook he had become a father.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr is now six.
The footballer’s family has always refused to discuss whether his son was born to a surrogate mum, despite claims by a former nanny that the footballer’s sister Katia had told her he had two Mexican mums.
In 2011, Carer Maria Manuela Rodriguez, who worked at Katia’s house in Moita near Lisbon for 10 months, told leading Portuguese tabloid Correio da Manha: "Once I saw a newspaper article saying the child’s mother wanted him back."
Ronaldo's sister responded by saying: "That’s a lie, because the mum is Mexican and she didn’t even see if it was a boy or a girl, because she was a surrogate mum," adding that she was told that Cristianinho was the "child of two mums."
“She even told me the child had two mums, that the eggs were from one and another carried and gave birth to the child. And that both were Mexican."

She added: “The child was born in a private clinic and the mother didn’t even see him, because she was covered up. The baby was born and she doesn’t know anything about him.”
The Real Madrid striker took legal action over the article, claiming the newspaper had intruded into his private life.
A court in Lisbon ruled in favour of the footballer and fined a newspaper, the former nanny and the two journalists who wrote the story.
An appeal against the decision is understood to be ongoing.
Ronaldo has never taken action over other stories about his son’s mum which are given less credence in Portugal.
Other stories have claimed that the mother of his child was a penniless American waitress he paid £10 million to to keep her identity secret. and hand the baby over to his family after a one-night stand.
A 2010 Sunday Mirror report said he met her in a Los Angeles restaurant during a trip to the US in 2009, charming her with the line: "Me, you **** ****".
Speaking in July 2014, Cristiano’s older sister Elma admitted: "Cristianinho sometimes asks about his mum.
"Once we told him that she was in Heaven, but my brother and my mum didn’t like that and asked us not to repeat it.
"We say now that his mum went travelling. He goes silent, forgets about it and doesn’t ask anymore."
