Eight key facts, one clear pattern: the information that is publicly available is thin, but what is confirmed is consistent across multiple sources.
| Label | Value |
|---|---|
| Full Name | Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro Jr. |
| Date of Birth | 17 June 2010 |
| Place of Birth | Portugal |
| Height | 1.90 m |
| Position | Centre-Forward |
| Current Team | Al Nassr U19 |
| Nationality | Portuguese |
| Mother | Not publicly disclosed |
The implication: the core biographical details are well-documented, but the family and health-related data remain guarded by design.
How old is Ronaldo Jr?
- Born 17 June 2010 (People magazine)
- As of 2026, he is 16 years old (People magazine)
- OneFootball also confirms birth date 17 June 2010 (OneFootball stats platform)
Why this matters: age determines eligibility for youth levels and fuels speculation about when he might follow his father into senior football. At 16, he is in the prime development window for a professional academy player.
Who is Ronaldo Jr’s mother?
- Cristiano Ronaldo has never publicly disclosed the identity of Ronaldo Jr.’s biological mother (Sports Illustrated sports magazine)
- Some secondary sources, such as Athlon Sports, have reported conflicting birth locations (La Mesa, California vs. San Diego) but these are not officially confirmed (Athlon Sports media)
The catch: the absence of an official statement means any claim about the mother’s identity remains unverifiable. This is one of the most persistent gaps in his public profile.
How tall is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr?
- OneFootball estimated his height at around 190 cm (6 ft 3 in) in 2025 (OneFootball stats platform)
- Times of India reports varying estimates, from 190 cm down to 183–185 cm (Times of India news source)
- A social media post claimed he was nearly 6 feet tall in 2026, but this is low-confidence (Facebook social media)
A 1.90 m frame at 16 puts him at a physical advantage for a centre-forward, but the lack of an official measurement from the club means the number is still an estimate. For comparison, his father is 1.87 m.
The pattern: height estimates are converging around 190 cm, but the variation across sources (183–190 cm) suggests no official measurement has been released.
What is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr’s real name?
- His full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro Jr. (People magazine)
- He is commonly referred to as Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. or simply Ronaldo Jr.
The implication: the naming convention is a direct mirror of his father, which reinforces the legacy narrative but also creates confusion in media coverage.
Which team does Ronaldo Jr play for?
- He plays for Al Nassr’s youth academy in Saudi Arabia (People magazine)
- His position is centre-forward, the same as his father (OneFootball stats platform)
- He made a Portugal U-16 start at the 2026 Algarve Tournament (World Soccer Talk)
- He briefly trained with Real Madrid’s Under-16 team in 2026 (People magazine)
Ronaldo Jr. reportedly hopes to join an elite club in Europe, preferably in the United Kingdom or Madrid. If he continues his development at Al Nassr, the jump to a European academy could happen within the next two years.
The trade-off: staying at Al Nassr keeps him close to his father’s current team, but moving to Europe would expose him to a higher level of competition and scrutiny.

Perspectives from the media
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. briefly trained with Real Madrid’s Under-16 team in 2026.
— People magazine
Cristiano Ronaldo has never publicly disclosed the identity of Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.’s biological mother.
— Sports Illustrated sports magazine
The takeaway: both sources agree on the lack of maternal disclosure, while People adds a concrete training milestone that signals European ambition.
For Ronaldo Jr., the immediate future is clear: continue developing at Al Nassr and potentially make a move to Europe. For fans and scouts, the implication is equally clear: watch his physical growth and international youth appearances — those will be the first signals of whether he can step out of his father’s shadow and into his own career.
