In April 2017, his father released a video featuring the young talent imitating his father’s famous pose on free kicks and scoring an incredible goal.

In June 2017, a short video showing his remarkable ability with the ball attracted worldwide media attention and was virally spread on social media. When Real Madrid players gathered at the Santiago-Bernabéu Stadium to celebrate their 4-1 victory over Juventus in the Champions League in Wales, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. and a few other kids started playing with the ball. 

A Real Madrid fan managed to record a 20-second video of the moment when the prodigy in the club’s purple away jersey dribbled two older children in the penalty area, hit them both with an amazing pirouette, and finally, dribbled past the goalkeeper and kicked the ball straight into the net. 

Thousands of fans present were captivated by this moment, and the video was shown in several news media and attracted a large number of viewers on the Internet.

Mother’s Identity

The identity of the woman who gave birth to Cristiano Ronaldo’s son has been a significant source of rumor and controversy since the football star’s paternity announcement. 

When his former girlfriend Irina Shayk was removed from the list of possible mothers, it was revealed that Ronaldo was allegedly involved in a one-night stand with a waitress during his time at Manchester United.

When the waitress realized that she was pregnant, she contacted the famous footballer with the news and ordered a DNA test that confirmed that the baby was Ronaldo’s.

The soccer icon decided to take full responsibility for his child, as abortion was impossible because the waitress was of the Catholic faith.

Sometime later, rumors began to spread that Ronaldo bought the woman’s silence with the sum of $10 million, giving him full custody of the boy, and the waitress was advised not to try to contact the boy in the future. 

According to recent rumors, the woman is currently a student in the UK and is desperate to contact her son despite her agreement with the father.
