Who is the mother of Cristiano Ronaldo Jr?
The identity of the woman who gave birth to Cristiano Ronaldo’s son has been a major source of rumor and controversy since the football star announced his paternity to the world. When his former girlfriend Irina Shayk was removed from the list of possible mothers, it became known that Ronaldo was allegedly involved in a one-night stand with a waitress during his time at Manchester United. When the waitress realized she was pregnant, she contacted the famous footballer with the news and was ordered to do a DNA test that confirmed beyond a doubt that the baby was Ronaldo’s.
The football icon decided to take full responsibility for his child, as abortion was not possible because the waitress was a Catholic. A while later rumors began to spread that Ronaldo bought the woman’s silence with the sum of $10 million, which gave him full custody of the boy and the waitress was advised not to try to contact the boy in the future. According to recent rumors, the woman is currently a student in the UK and despite the deal, she has made with the father, she is desperate to contact her son.
