Soccer star Ronaldo Luis Nazário de Lima received a very special gift this Christmas: a daughter.
Maria Sofia was born Wednesday in Rio de Janiero, and dad was by fiancée Maria Beatriz Anthony's side during delivery, according to local media reports.
The baby is healthy and weighs 6.6 lbs. and Ronaldo, 32, even cut the umbilical cord himself.
This is Ronaldo's second child. He has an 8-year-old son, Ronald, with ex-wife, model Milene Domingues.
After being sidelined by a knee injury, Ronaldo is set to play football again in 2009 with the Brazilian club Corinthians, his agent confirmed earlier this month.
