Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro was born on the 5th day of February 1985 to his mother, Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro and late father, José Dinis Aveiro.
Cristiano Ronaldo favourite nickname remains ‘the GOAT.’
Upon his birth, his Dad named him ‘Ronaldo’ – in admiration for the former US president Ronald Reagan, who was just sworn in for his US second term.
Ronnie grew up alongside his older brother, Hugo and two older sisters, Elma and Katia. As a last-born child of his family, the media has it that Mum and Dad pampered him a lot.
Cristiano was knocked down by his father’s comments and overwhelmed with memories of growing up with an alcoholic father who died when Cristiano was 20.
Back then, Cristiano got away scot-free whenever he commits an offence at home. Instead of owning up to his deeds, he would pretend to cry in front of his parents.
Cristiano was a proud but troubled boy, the youngest of four children. His mother was a cook and a cleaner.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the last child of three children born of the union between his parents, Maria Dolores a cook and José Dinis Aveiro a former Soldier, gardener, and kit man.
Ronaldo became a father for the first time on June 17, 2010, when Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. was born.
