Who is Cristiano Ronaldo’s lookalike footballer son, Cristiano Jr? The ex Man United star’s eldest plays for Al-Nassr’s under 13 team and rocks Rolex watches – and his mum’s identity remains a secret
Cristiano Ronaldo’s son, Cristiano Jr, seems to have inherited his father’s athletic ability, as showcased in a post shared by the renowned footballer in late February.
Here’s what we know about Cristiano Ronaldo’s 13-year-old mini-me son:
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr is the son of the legendary football star – but his mother’s identity is a mystery
Cristiano Jr – full name Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Júnior – was born on June 17, 2010, and is the football star’s first child. And while we know that Cristiano is his father, his biological mother’s identity has never been revealed, per People magazine.
Ronaldo Sr told Jonathan Ross in 2015, “Some points in life are private and people have to respect the privacy. When Cristiano is going to grow up, I am always going to say the truth to him because he deserves it, because he is my son. But I am not going to say [it just] because people want me to say.”

In a statement, Ronaldo tweeted at the time, “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.”

According to the same source, Ronaldo said in 2019 of his son’s wish: “Sometimes, my son tells me: ‘Dad, hold on for a few more years, I want to play with you’. But that will be difficult.”
He’s part of a big family
Tragically, in April 2022, it was announced that one of their twins had died. “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,” the couple wrote. “Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.”
