Rise to Fame
A direct descendant of his fame as a Portuguese football legend is more than enough, but it is not only thanks to his father that Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. has attracted so much media attention lately. In April 2017, his father released a video featuring the young talent imitating his father’s famous pose on free kicks and scoring a wonderful goal.
In June 2017, a short video of him 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 a wonderful pirouette, and finally dribbled past the goalkeeper and kicked the ball straight into the net. Thousands of fans present were fascinated by this moment, and the video was shown in several news media and attracted a large number of viewers on the Internet.

The soccer icon decided to take full responsibility for his child, as abortion was not possible 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 the agreement she made with the father.
