Cristiano Ronaldo has spent more than two decades as one of the most famous athletes on the planet, but in recent years the headlines about him have been as much about family as football. He’s a father of five, and in August 2026 he finally married his long-time partner, Georgina Rodríguez, with all five children there. Here’s a clear guide to who his kids are, how old they are, and what the family has shared publicly.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Children at a Glance
| Child | Born | Mother | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. | June 17, 2010 | Not publicly identified | Eldest; plays in Al-Nassr’s youth academy |
| Eva Maria | June 8, 2017 | Born via surrogate | Twin sister of Mateo |
| Mateo | June 8, 2017 | Born via surrogate | Twin brother of Eva |
| Alana Martina | November 12, 2017 | Georgina Rodríguez | Couple’s first child together |
| Bella Esmeralda | April 18, 2022 | Georgina Rodríguez | Youngest; her twin brother died at birth |
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr.
Ronaldo’s eldest son was born on June 17, 2010. At the time, Ronaldo announced the birth on Facebook, saying that, as agreed with the baby’s mother, her identity would stay confidential and his son would be under his exclusive guardianship. He asked everyone to respect the child’s privacy, and the mother has never been publicly identified.
Cristiano Jr. has followed his father into football. He plays in Al-Nassr’s youth academy in Saudi Arabia, and in May 2025 he earned his first call-up to Portugal’s Under-15 team for a youth tournament in Croatia. Ronaldo marked the moment on Instagram with a simple message: “Proud of you, son!”
Why it matters: the comparisons are inevitable, but Cristiano Jr. is building his own path, and his dad seems more interested in cheering him on than in pushing a legacy onto him.
Twins Eva Maria and Mateo
Eva Maria and Mateo were born on June 8, 2017, via a surrogate whose identity has also been kept private. Ronaldo shared his joy on social media at the time, writing that he was “so happy to be able to hold the two new loves of my life.”
The family has shared glimpses of the twins growing up, from joint birthday celebrations to family holidays, but has kept most of their lives private.
Alana Martina: Cristiano and Georgina’s First Child
Ronaldo met Georgina Rodríguez in 2016 while she was working at a Gucci store in Madrid, during his Real Madrid years. Their first child together, Alana Martina, was born on November 12, 2017, just five months after the twins arrived.
Bella Esmeralda and the Loss of Her Twin Brother
In April 2022, Cristiano and Georgina welcomed their youngest daughter, Bella Esmeralda, born on April 18. Her twin brother died during birth. The couple shared the news together, writing: “It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.”
They closed that statement with: “Our boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.”
From Engagement to Wedding
After eight years together, Georgina announced their engagement on August 11, 2025, sharing a photo of her ring with the caption: “Yes, I do. In this and all of my lives.”
Almost exactly a year later, on August 11, 2026, the couple married in a small civil ceremony in Cascais, near Lisbon. All five children were there. Ronaldo announced the news with a photo of their wedding rings on Instagram.
Our Take
Ronaldo’s family didn’t come together in a conventional way, and he has never pretended it did. What stands out is how firmly he has protected his children’s privacy, from keeping two mothers’ identities confidential to sharing only what he chooses. With the wedding done and Cristiano Jr. making his own name in youth football, the next few years are likely to bring even more attention. So far, the family has handled it on their own terms.
