Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. was born on June 17, 2010. Many details about his birth were kept confidential, and Cristiano Ronaldo had never revealed who the boy’s mother is. He commented on this decision in 2015, in an interview with Jonathan Ross.

“Some points in life are secret and people need to respect that privacy. When Cristiano Jr. grows up, I will always, always tell the truth because he deserves to know, because he is my son. But I’m not going to say it [just] because people want me to say it,” Ronaldo said.

If you are wondering if Ronaldo is a present father in his son’s life, the answer seems to be yes, as he has already had to change the boy’s diapers. “It’s not my favorite thing in the world, but I do it,” he told Marca in January 2011.

However, this did not stop speculation. The Daily Mail reported that an American waitress became pregnant by Ronaldo after a night together. Ronaldo is said to have “paid the young woman £10 million to keep her identity a secret.” It is important to highlight that this has never been proven.

Maybe, when Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. grows up, he might decide to look for his biological mother, or maybe not. Either way, this is his decision.

Finally, Ronaldo broke his silence on this mystery in a recent interview, saying: “The truth is that my son’s mother is an extraordinary woman who preferred to remain anonymous to protect her and our son’s privacy. We agreed to do this together, and I deeply respect your decision.”

With this, Ronaldo hopes that the world will respect his privacy and that of his family, allowing Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. to grow without constant pressure from the media.
