Who is Cristiano Ronaldo’s Eldest Son Cristiano Jr’s Biological Mother?

Ever since he set out on the adventure of stardom, the legendary Cristiano Ronaldo has always been in the spotlight. Besides his on-field heroics and legacy, CR7’s personal life, especially his family with 5 adorable children, has always been the talk of the town for his fans and media. Yet, like Area 51 or the truth behind the construction of pyramids, there’s one thing the world has never known in the Portuguese superstar’s life too- the identity of his eldest son Cristiano Jr.’s biological mother.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. was born on June 17, 2010, while CR7 had almost completed a year in the Spanish capital. It was Ronaldo’s mother Dolores Aveiro who raised the boy. But nothing about the lady who gave birth was ever made public. Recently, a video resurfaced on social media making many wonder about the truth about Cristiano Jr’s original mother. Let’s delve deeper.

Cristiano Ronaldo and his well-kept secret

“When I’m going to tell him about his mother? Not soon, 10, 11, 12 years? When the time will come,” was the statement of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner in 2015. He said it on The Jonathan Ross Show, asking everyone not to create a fuss about it. He admitted that Cristianinho deserves to know the truth. Many reports claim Cristianinho was born through surrogacy. But as Ronaldo had revealed during the birth of his firstborn, he respected the wish of the mother who wished not to be exposed.

Ronaldo had tweeted, “It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship. I request everyone to fully respect my right to privacy (and that of the child) at least on issues as personal as these are.” However, in 2014, The Mirror reported that it was a waitress from a restaurant in the US.

There were many theories over the speculations of the identity of Cristiano Jr’s mother. But none has come to fruition. A video recently appeared on TikTok claiming the identity of the woman. The TikTok user captioned the video, “Ronaldo Jr. was raised by his father’s girlfriends and grandmother, but this is his real mother.” The post included a photo of an unknown lady with the Manchester United legend on a yacht. The video raised eyebrows, notably because of the similarities between the woman in pic and Cristianinho.

Ronaldo Jr., now 14, is walking in the footsteps of his dad. He plies his trade with Mahd Academy in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo Jr. appeared for Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United academies in the past. However, the secrecy regarding his mother’s identity hasn’t fazed the youngster.

Be that as it may, the 13-year-old has already become a prodigy in soccer, scoring worldies reminiscent of his father, for the Al Nassr academy. While the veil around the woman remains, Ronaldo has a fulfilling family with four more children whom he takes care of with her partner, Georgina Rodriguez. Let’s take a look.

In October 2021, Ronaldo announced that he and Rodriguez were expecting twins. He shared the news alongside a photo of himself lying with Rodríguez while holding up ultrasound photos. But in April 2022, Ronaldo shared the heartbreaking news that one of the twins, a baby boy, had passed away.

“It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel,” Ronaldo wrote. “Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness,” Ronaldo had written on his Instagram. Months later, in November 2022, in a conversation aired on TalkTV, Ronaldo had talked about the moment he revealed this truth to his other children.

“The kids start to say ‘Mom, where is the other baby….’. After one week I say, ‘Let’s be upfront, and let’s be honest with the kids, let’s say that, Ángel, which is his name, he go to the Heaven.’,” Ronaldo had recalled. Since then, Ronaldo had said, the family has overcome the grief together, remembering the little soul every day.
