Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., born June 17, 2010, in San Diego, California, will be 15 in 2025. The eldest son of footballing legend Cristiano Ronaldo, he has spent his life growing up in the shadow of the sport that made his father a worldwide sensation. He is now about 170 cm tall, and is entering a stage in his life where he is beginning to form an identity for himself on and off the pitch. He looks increasingly more confident and skilled by the day, and more ready to cut his own path in football.
Ever since he could walk, Cristiano Jr. has been dribbling a ball wherever life has had him. He began at the Juventus Academy while his father was playing in Italy, then moved on to Manchester United’s youth setup during their time in England, and most recently has been waved on to Al Nassr’s youth setup in Saudi Arabia. He primarily plays as either a forward or attacking midfielder, having developed sharp instincts around the goal, finished his way, and dolled out a bit of flair here and there — much like many remember his father doing in earlier days. Coaches rave about his attitude and grit: from an early age he would train with seriousness, listening to every detail and trying to improve his game.
With all the eyes that are on him due to his father’s stature, Cristiano Jr has chosen to remain humble and focused. Those who know him attest that he is polite, grounded, and hardworking. He trains with his father side by side, who imparts lessons on football and beyond — discipline, fitness, and the mindset that have shaped one of the greatest careers in the history of sports.
He can still be found being a typical teenager off the pitch, juggling school, training, and family time. He has a strong relationship with his siblings and likes spending time quietly with them when he is not practicing. While knowing there is a lot of scrutiny on him, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. is taking it one step at a time, learning, growing, and dreaming — not only about living up to his father, but about forming a legacy for himself.
