\nIrineu Cruz and wife Jucicleide Silva with children<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
Irineu Cruz and wife Jucicleide Silva have been trying for a little girl for almost 20 years and they\u2019ve only managed to\u00a0add more boys to the family.<\/p>\n
The couple have a brood ranging from one month to 18-years-old \u2013 but the couple say they won\u2019t stop trying until a girl arrives.<\/p>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
During Jucicleide Silva\u2019s first pregnancy, the couple agreed that the dad would name the boys and Mum, the girls. But the couple has since christened all 13 boys after famous footballers, all beginning with the letter R.<\/p>\n
The family, who live in Concei ao de Coit , Brazil, hoped their thirteenth child would be a game-changer but instead the midwife announced it was yet another boy.<\/p>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
Irineu who is a 40-year-old farmer said:<\/p>\n
\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always admired players like Rivaldo, Roberto Carlos, Ronaldinho and Robinho, all the best footballers seemed to have a name beginning with R, so as more and more boys came along, I decided to celebrate South American football by naming my sons after the players I liked.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
The family\u2019s newest addition has been christened Ronaldo after the former Brazil star.<\/p>\n
Little Ronaldo joins brothers Robson (18), Reinan (17), Rauan (15), Rubens (14), Rivaldo (13), Ruan (12), Ramon (10), Rincon (9), Riquelme (7), Ramires (5), Railson (3) and Rafael (2).<\/p>\n
