The Birth of Cristiano Ronaldo Jr

Cristiano Ronaldo made a blockbuster move to Real Madrid in 2009. He became a Galactico and was the pivotal force in Real Madrid dominating the country and continent for the next decade. His first season was excellent in particular. Ronaldo netted 33 goals but still ended the season trophyless.

In the summer, he announced the birth of his first child. Cristiano Ronaldo Jr’s birth was announced on Facebook by the superstar. Cristiano Jr was born on June 17, 2010, in San Diego, California. There was no mention of the boy’s mother anywhere in the post. Furthermore, Cristiano Ronaldo sworn to secrecy regarding the identity of the boy’s mother.

However, the question of who is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr’s mother took backstage as Ronaldo started to celebrate his first child. His mother Dolores Aveiro took the responsibility of raising her son’s first child. She raised him till he reached a certain age before Georgina Rodriguez became his mother and looked after him with motherly love and affection.  

Speculations and Theories

The question was forgotten for a brief period. But it did come into the picture as Dolores was raising Cristiano Jr. Rumours started flying. Reports from multiple sources started flooding in. Some were genuine, some were hoaxes, some were outright laughable. Let us take a look at some of the most heard ones.

In 2014, The Mirror reported that the mother was a waitress at a restaurant in the US. Cristiano Ronaldo’s trips in the summer of 2009 could’ve been the source of those rumours.

A much widely accepted rumour appeared on a TikTok video. Cristiano Ronaldo was pictured with an unknown lady on a yacht. The similarities between the woman in the picture and Cristiano Jr add weight to the rumour that she is indeed the mother of the boy.

Another vile rumour is that Cristiano Jr was born to a surrogate mother and that is why Ronaldo never announced it. It can be easily written off since Ronaldo’s second and third children were born from surrogate mothers.

Few even speculated that Cristiano Jr was a clone of Ronaldo himself. These theories never had solid evidence backing them and hence the truth remains a secret

Why the Secrecy?

Cristiano Ronaldo who is quite open regarding everything chose to protect this one matter. The legendary Portuguese once said, “People speculate that I was with this girl or with another, or that there was a surrogate mother. I have never told anyone and I will never tell them”.

We can probably understand why Ronaldo wants to keep it a secret from everyone. He has taken the decisions in the best interests of his son. Whatever he does, it is the best for his child. It was Ronaldo’s stance from day one. While announcing the birth of his son on Social Media, he added the following words.

“It is with great joy and emotion that I inform you I have recently become a 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.” 

Ronaldo doesn’t want to put the answer in public but he said he will make sure that Cristiano Jr knows it one day.

On The Jonathan Ross Show 2015, Ronaldo spoke his heart out regarding this matter. He asked everyone not to make a fuss about it. He also added “When I’m going to tell him about his mother? Not soon, 10, 11, 12 years? When the time will come.”

As Cristiano Junior is already 14 years old now, we are left to wonder if he knows the truth or not.
