Cristiano Ronaldo was 25 years old when his first son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., was born in June 2010. Ronaldo was born on 5 February 1985, so he had turned 25 four months earlier.
Ronaldo announced the birth of his son on 3 July 2010, shortly after Portugal’s elimination from the 2010 FIFA World Cup. He said the child would remain under his exclusive guardianship and did not publicly identify the mother. Ronaldo Jr. was born shortly after Ronaldo’s move from Manchester United to Real Madrid, making the milestone part of a major transition in his career.
The age can be confused with later family milestones. Ronaldo became a father again in 2017, when twins Eva and Mateo were born, and his daughter Alana Martina was born later that year. In 2022, Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez announced the birth of their daughter Bella Esmeralda and the death of her twin brother during childbirth.
