Alana is Georgina's first child, and comes a year after the pair started dating. The two met in Madrid, where the dad-of-four lives, at a fashion event, and confirmed they were expecting a child together in July.

The baby girl is Cristiano's fourth child, after he recently welcomed twins via surrogate.

He took to Instagram to finally confirm the happy baby news with fans in June, after a lot of speculation from the press, revealing that he had become a dad to twins - a baby boy and a baby girl named Mateo and Eva, respectively.

The former Manchester United player is also a dad to seven-year-old Cristiano Jr, but he never revealed if he also used a surrogate to have his firstborn.
