Background
Portuguese football star, Cristiano Ronaldo, announced the birth of his son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., on July 17, 2010, in a post on Facebook and Twitter. He also revealed that their son’s mother did not want to be known and had given him exclusive guardianship.
In an interview with Jonathan Ross in 2017, Ronaldo revealed that his son doesn’t know who his mother is but he will tell him when the time is right. Ronaldo Jr. has a wonderful relationship with his loving step-mom, Georgina Rodriguez, and his half-siblings, twins Eva and Mateo, born in June 2017 via surrogacy; and Alana Martina, born in November 2017.
The young soccer player played for the Juventus Football Academy but transferred to the Red Devils after his father returned to Old Trafford in a $22 million transfer in August 2021. Ronaldo Jr. joined the Manchester United football academy, alongside Wayne Rooney’s son, Kai, and Nemanja Matic’s son. During the summer transfer in 2021, he joined the English club’s Under-12 squad. Due to his fallout with Manchester united, Ronaldo terminated his contract with the club in 2022. In 2023, he signed a two-and-a-half-year contract with the Saudi Arabian club, Al Nassr, and Ronaldo Jr. subsequently joined the state-of-the-art Mahd Academy.
Ronaldo has revealed that he would like to see his son follow in his footsteps. Dos Santos Aveiro, the boy’s grandmother, believes he is more skilled than his father at that age and hopes he will be a great player.
