Background

The father, Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo, announced the birth of his son in a post on Facebook and Twitter, on July 17, 2010.

In an interview in 2015 with Jonathan Ross, Ronaldo revealed that his son does not know his mother but he will tell him when the time is right. A loving step-mom, the footballer’s girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, is the mother of Ronaldo’s three other kids: twins Eva and Mateo, born in June 2017 via surrogacy; and Alana Martina, born in November 2017.

The young soccer athlete, Ronaldo Jr. is currently in the Manchester United football academy, alongside Kai (Wayne Rooney’s son), and Nemanja Matic’s son. During the summer transfer in 2021, he joined the English club’s Under-12 squad. He has previously played in the Juventus football academy and transferred to the Red Devils’ side after his father returned to Old Trafford in a $22 million transfer in August 2021. Ronaldo has revealed in the past 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 is hopeful he will be a great player. Ronaldo Jr.’s Manchester United move ensured that he is closer to his dad, who is also his mentor.
