The so-called ‘lifetime contracts of silence’ are initially a confidentiality agreement between Ronaldo and whoever works for him. It binds the employee to absolute secrecy concerning details about the celebrated soccer star, with the contract valid until the end of Ronaldo’s life and “for 70 years after his death”.

The clause understanding extends protection to his partner Georgina, his five children, his mother, and siblings, as well as to the mother of his first child, whose identity has never been revealed. This is reportedly Ronaldo’s way of ensuring that his family’s lives remain out of the public arena.

The confidentiality agreement has become even more significant in recent months. Such drastic action follows recent months of rumors regarding a potential surprise exit from Al-Nassr, as well as a split with his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez.
