Georgina Rodriguez, Ronaldo’s partner and mother to the junior, celebrated the moment on Instagram. She shared a heartfelt collage of images from Cristiano Jr.’s debut on October 20th with the caption ‘Proud mom’.

The elder Ronaldo is widely considered one of the greatest soccer players of all time, and he is in the midst of his second season with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr after signing a $75-million-per-year deal through the summer of 2025 with the team in December 2022.
There’s a chance we’ll see father and son together on the pitch. Fingers crossed!
