Who Is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr's Mother And How Old Is He?

The youngster, who turns 12 next June, has quickly been able to showcase the type of talent that made his father a modern-day legend.

Just after his ninth birthday, Cristiano Jr scored four times on his eagerly anticipated Juve debut in 2018, according to Tuttosport.

And later that season, the youngster - cheered on by his dad in the stands - scored seven in a single half against CS Martimo, says AS.

When delving into his statistics at the Old Lady's youth set-up, the 11-year-old scored a staggering 58 goals inside just 28 games, adding a further 18 assists in his first season for the under-9s team. Like father, like son, eh?

Who is Cristiano Ronaldo's mother?

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr is the son of Manchester United and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo.

He was born in the United States and the footballer having full custody of the boy. His mother has never been publicly identified.

In 2015, Ronaldo was interviewed by Jonathan Ross where he made a statement about the identity of his son’s mother.

“Junior doesn’t know who his mother is, but don’t make a problem out of it,” Ronaldo stated.

“I’m not gonna lie to Cristiano because he deserves to know the truth, but I don’t want to tell the truth because people want me to do it.”

It means the Portugal international busted out his iconic celebration twice, but it was the second time that caught everyone's attention.

After smashing his penalty past Aaron Ramsdale, Ronaldo ran to the corner flag, jumped, and was met with a massive ovation.

Showing his famous number seven shirt to the Old Trafford terraces as his teammates wheeled over in joy, Ronaldo proved he's the ultimate showman.

Of the players who ran over, Diogo Dalot, Jadon Sancho and Alex Telles even copied the celebration.

That's when you know you've got the respect of younger players in the squad.

Cassano nows claims that Ronaldo was so upset by his comments that he sent him messages demanding respect for what he has achieved in the game.

"Ronaldo wrote me messages," the former Inter striker said on Christian Vieri's Twitch channel.

"Cristiano Ronaldo, telling me that I need to have respect for him because of the trophies he's won and the goals he's scored.

"I'm not afraid to tell the truth, I'll face anyone; from the Pope to the last on this earth.

"I called Buffon and he confirmed that he gave my number to the press officer, who turned it over to Ronaldo so he could tell me he's scored 750 goals and I only got 150.

"To him I'd just say: dear Cristiano, you have everything. Be calm and relaxed. Take your example from Messi, he doesn't give a damn about anything or anyone.

"He sent me a message, honestly it's the truth. Gigi Buffon knows it well, Gigi laughed about it. Chiellini knows too.

"It made me angry: what are you doing? What is your problem?"

The England legend was quick to publicly name and shame the fan, in a passionate defence of the Manchester United forward.

He wrote: "That's as ridiculous as it is disrespectful. @Cristiano is indisputably one of the greatest players in the history of the game. An absolute phenomenon."

Ronaldo reached 801 career goals for club and country with a brace in United's 3-2 win over Arsenal on Thursday.

He became the first player to reach that tally of top-level goals, and adds that to his record of being the all-time top scorer in men's international football, in the Champions League, and for Real Madrid.

The 36-year-old shows no signs of slowing down either, after pulling United out of trouble once again with a virtuoso display against the Gunners.

His has now managed 801 goals in 1,097 games - simply jaw-dropping stats from a modern-day legend.

That result against Arsenal lifted the Red Devils up to seventh, and within three points of fourth-place West Ham United in Michael Carrick's final match in caretaker charge of the side.

Ralf Rangnick has now replaced Carrick in the dugout and added his praise for Ronaldo during his first press conference at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo and United will now turn their focus to match against Crystal Palace on Sunday, looking to secure back-to-back Premier League wins for only the second time this season.

The Juventus forward has been strongly linked with a move in recent weeks. In fact, the 36-year-old posted a cryptic statement on social media on Tuesday, where he reflected on another season at the Serie A side.

Ronaldo, who currently has another year on his contract in Turin, will reportedly speak to the Turin-based side about his future this summer after the club secured Champions League football on the final day.

He has, however, also been linked with a move to a number of clubs, including former side Manchester United. But would he actually consider a return to Old Trafford in the future?

Bruno Fernandes, who joined the Premier League side from Sporting CP last year, has spoken about previous conversations he has had with Ronaldo, and how the forward regularly asks about his former club.

In an interview with Manchester United's official website, Fernandes said: "I spoke with him [Ronaldo] after, not before. I said before - Manchester, for me, was the dream team.

"I always wanted to play for this team and it doesn't matter who can talk about it - bad or good, I will come.

"It was my dream to play in the Premier League. I have the choice to come to Manchester United and it was two dreams in one. It was perfect.

"Of course, I spoke with Cristiano after and he spoke very well about the club. I spoke with him some days ago, again.

"Every time I speak with him, he asks me how Manchester is and if everything is okay. Everyone knows he spent a lot of time in Manchester and he has consideration for the club.

"He likes the club, I think he won his first Ballon d'Or here, so it's a club who've marked him, for sure."
