“When I’m going to tell him about his mother? Not soon, 10, 11, 12 years? When the time will come,”was the statement of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner in 2015. He said it on The Jonathan Ross Show, asking everyone not to create a fuss about it. He admitted that Cristianinho deserves to know the truth.
Many reports claim Cristianinho was born through surrogacy. There was an agreement between the Portuguese and an unknown lady to keep everything secret about her identity, and he respected the wish of the lady. However, in 2014, The Mirror reported that it was a waitress from a restaurant in the US.

There were many theories over the speculations of the identity of Cristiano Jr’s mother. But none has come to fruition. A video recently appeared onTikTok claiming the identity of the woman. TheTikTok user captioned the video,“Ronaldo Jr. was raised by his father’s girlfriends and grandmother, but this is his real mother.”The post included a photo of an unknown lady with the Manchester United legend on a yacht.
The video raised eyebrows, notably because of the similarities between the woman in pic and Cristianinho. Ronaldo Jr., now 13, is walking in the footsteps of his dad. He plies his trade with Mahd Academy in Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo Jr. appeared for Real Madrid, Juventus, and Manchester United academies in the past. However, the secrecy regarding his mother’s identity hasn’t fazed the youngster. He seems to enjoy his time with Georgina, his siblings, and grandmother.
