Shocker! Brazilian Couple with 13 Sons Vow Not to Stop Giving Birth Until they Have a Daughter (Photos)

A Brazilian couple who have been trying to have a baby girl for almost 20 years after giving birth to 13 boys, have vowed and agreed that they won't stop until their wish come to pass.

The couple have been trying for a daughter for nearly two decades

A Brazilian couple, Irineu Cruz and Jucicleide Silva, who have thirteen sons and have been trying for a daughter for almost 20 years, have vowed to keep having babies until they get a girl.

The couple from Conceiçao de Coité, near Salvador in Bahia State who keep defying the odds to add more boys to their brood, with population experts revealing the odds of having 13 in a row is one in 8,000, now have enough boys to make up their own football team.

The kids aged from one month to 18 years old are even named after Brazilian football stars such as Ronaldo to Rivaldo.

The 40-years-old farmer, Irineu, said: “When Jucicleide first got pregnant we agreed she could choose the girls’ names and I would choose the names if they were boys.

“I’ve 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.”

The family’s newest addition was christened Ronaldo after the Brazil legend who played for Barcelona, Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

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).

The football-mad family even play as a team, taking on the local village club every weekend in a game Irineu referees.

The farmer said: “We don’t have any medals. When we win, we get a goat or a box of drink and some food for the children.

“It would be amazing if one of our boys ended up playing for Brazil. They are all good footballers – particularly Robson and Rauan who are our star strikers. The exception is Reinan who prefers chasing girls.”
