How Old Is Ronaldo's Oldest Kid

Okay, so you’re wondering about the oldest of Cristiano Ronaldo’s mini-me’s, right? You’ve seen the Instagram posts, the matching haircuts, the abs that somehow exist on a kid. It’s time we settled this once and for all: how old is Ronaldo’s oldest kid, and more importantly, is he already better at free-kicks than your uncle?

Grab a juice box (or something stronger, we don’t judge), because we’re diving into the world of CR7 Junior. The answer isn’t just a boring number—it’s a whole timeline of footballing destiny in the making.

Meet Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. – The First Born

His full name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro Jr., which is a mouthful, so we’ll call him “the heir.” He was born on June 17, 2010, which means every summer, the Ronaldo household celebrates two birthdays: one for the GOAT, and one for the GOAT-in-training. As of right now, that makes him 14 years old—and yes, he’s already got a better Instagram following than most of us will ever see.

But wait, let’s do the math so we’re all on the same page. If he was born in 2010, and we’re talking about today, that’s a solid teenager. Fourteen. That’s the age where you’re too old for cartoons but too young to drive—unless you’re Ronaldo Jr., who probably has a contract with a car brand already.

So, 14. In football years, that’s the age where you either drop out of school to join a youth academy or start pretending you’re injured to avoid homework. I’m guessing he doesn’t fake injuries, because his dad would show him a video of himself crying after a knee injury and say, “Now that’s dedication.”

What’s He Up To at 14?

Here’s where it gets fun. Cristiano Jr. is currently in the youth system at Al-Nassr, the same Saudi club his dad plays for. That’s right—he’s not just riding the bench; he’s actually scoring goals and doing the “Siu” celebration in front of kids who have to go to math class the next day. Legend.

At 14, he’s already got a highlight reel that would make a 20-year-old jealous. I’ve seen clips of him striking free-kicks with that weird breath-in pose his dad does, and honestly? It’s both adorable and terrifying. He’s got the swagger, the haircut, and apparently, the same work ethic—which means he’s probably waking up at 5 AM to do sit-ups while you’re still snoozing your alarm for the third time.

And here’s a fun fact: when he was 10, he scored a hat-trick in a youth match. A hat-trick at 10! I couldn’t tie my shoes that fast at 10. He’s outpacing my entire childhood résumé, and I’m okay with that because he’s literally built for this.

The “Is He the Next Ronaldo?” Question

Everyone asks, “Will he be as good as his dad?” And that’s a loaded question, like asking if a goldfish could swim faster than a shark. But here’s the twist: he might be even more athletic, because he’s got modern sports science, a dad who’s a fitness freak, and access to private chefs who make broccoli taste like candy. The pressure is on, but the kid seems to handle it with a smile.

Also, let’s talk about the sibling dynamic. He’s the big brother to Alana Martina, Eva, and Mateo (the twins). At 14, he’s basically the babysitter-in-chief during quarantine. Imagine telling him to do his chores, and he just replies, “I’m the first-born son of a five-time Ballon d’Or winner—I don’t do dishes.” Fair enough, buddy.

But honestly, watching him play, you see the raw talent. He’s got a cannon of a left foot, and he’s not afraid to dribble past three defenders just to show off. At 14, that’s the right attitude—cocky but harmless, like a puppy that thinks it’s a wolf.

So, How Old Is He Again?

Let me make it crystal clear for the back row: He is 14 years old. Not 15, not 12, not “old enough to sign a professional contract” (that’s 16 in most places, but let’s not give him ideas). He’s in that gorgeous sweet spot where he can still enjoy being a kid—except he’s on a pitch with pros-in-training and has a personal trainer who probably yells at him in Portuguese.

If you’re reading this and thinking, “Wow, I’m older than Ronaldo’s kid, and I haven’t done anything with my life,” join the club. But here’s your silver lining: he’s also missing out on normal teenager stuff—like acne, awkward school dances, and learning to parallel park. So, you’ve got that going for you.

A Little Perspective (and a Smile)

At the end of the day, 14 is just a number. It’s the age where you start figuring out who you are, whether you’re a Ronaldo or a regular Joe. Cristiano Jr. has the weight of a legacy on his shoulders, but he also has the joy of playing the game he loves—and that’s the real win.

So, next time you see that photo of him celebrating a goal, remember: he’s just a kid. A ridiculously talented, super-rich, genetically blessed kid, but still a kid. And if he ever reads this article (which he won’t, because he’s busy training), I’d say: “You’re doing great, buddy. But please, let your dad pay for dinner for once.”

Here’s the uplifting part, friend: whether you’re 14 or 40, it’s never too late to chase your passion. Ronaldo Jr. got a head start, but you’ve got your own journey. And who knows? Maybe your hidden talent is just waiting to be unlocked—just don’t expect it to be a bicycle kick from 30 yards. That’s his thing.

So, go out there, smile, and remember: age is just a number, but a good “Siu” celebration is forever. And if anyone asks you how old Ronaldo’s oldest kid is, you can now say, “He’s 14, and he’s already cooler than me.” And that’s perfectly okay.
