Cristiano Jr., born on June 17, 2010, is Ronaldo’s eldest child and currently plays for the Al Nassr youth team. The identity of his mother has not been publicly disclosed.
Ronaldo has predicted that his eldest son, Cristiano Jr., will grow to become bigger than him, saying the teenager is already stronger than he was at the same age.
The Portugal captain remarked in a video shared by Netflix Sports on Thursday while watching Cristiano Jr. train with the Al Nassr youth team.
Speaking about his 16-year-old son, Ronaldo said, “He’s a good kid. The other ones are tougher, the ones at home, the small ones. This one is no problem.
“When I was his age, he is a little bit bigger and stronger. I was smaller. I think he will be bigger than me.”
Ronaldo, however, stressed that physical attributes alone would not determine his son’s success in football.
When another person in the video wondered whether Cristiano Jr. would have the same drive as his father, Ronaldo replied: “Hunger is the most difficult.”
