“He doesn’t want him to fail” - Georgina Rodriguez opens up on how Cristiano Ronaldo treats 14-year-old son
Cristiano Ronaldo's partner, Georgina Rodriguez, has shed light on the relationship that exists between the superstar and his 14-year-old son. Cristiano Jr was born into the public eye by virtue of his father's success, but the youngster has managed to remain levelheaded.
After Cristiano Ronaldo scored from the penalty spot against Al-Ettifaq in his last appearance (September 20), he appeared to point at his son who was seated in the stands. He raised three fingers to the 14-year-old, indicating that they had scored a hat-trick as a duo, seeing as Cristiano Jr scored twice earlier in the day. The youngster is on the books of the Al-Nassr academy, having moved there when his father joined the Saudi club in January 2023.
Georgina Rodriguez has witnessed first-hand the kind of relationship that exists between the father-son duo. She made the point known on her Netflix series 'I am Georgina', explaining that the older Ronaldo always monitors his son to ensure his success.
“He makes the most of it, and offers him a lot of life advice. Every morning he’s always checking on him. He doesn’t want him to fail," she said. "He gives him advice when it comes to strength training at home, and strategies he used as a child."
Cristiano Ronaldo, his partner Georgina Rodriguez, and their children, including Cristiano Jr, appear to have a very good relationship. They often post pictures and videos of them spending time together in various places, including the gym.
The younger Cristiano appears set to follow in his father's footsteps by venturing into professional football. In his father, the 14-year-old has the best role model possible to help him achieve the success he seeks.
