How old is Ronaldo Jr.?
Birth date and age verification
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. was born on 17 June 2010 in La Mesa, California, USA, according to OneFootball and BeSoccer. This makes him 15 years old in 2025, turning 16 later in the year. His full legal name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro Jr. (Wikipedia).
Age as of 2025
In 2025, Ronaldo Jr. is 15 years old. Multiple sources including BeSoccer, OneFootball, and Public Angle confirm this age. The consistency across platforms — from sports databases to news outlets — makes his age one of the most reliably documented facts about him.
Is Ronaldo Jr. taller than his dad?
Height comparison at comparable ages
The direct answer: yes, by several metrics. Transfermarkt lists Ronaldo Jr.’s height at 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in). In contrast, the same authoritative database lists Cristiano Ronaldo Sr. at 1.88 m. When converting from metric, some sources round the father’s height to 1.87 m or 6 ft 2 in. The implication is striking: Ronaldo Jr., at 15, appears taller than his father’s fully mature height of 1.87-1.88 m.
OneFootball estimates Ronaldo Jr. at around 190 cm and notes this would make him taller than his father. The Times of India reports that some platforms list him between 183 cm and 185 cm, but emphasizes the exact figure remains uncertain because he is still growing.
| Source | Ronaldo Jr. Height | Ronaldo Sr. Height |
|---|---|---|
| Transfermarkt | 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in) | 1.88 m (6 ft 2 in) |
| OneFootball | ~190 cm | 187 cm |
| BeSoccer | 182 cm | — |
| Wikipedia (Spanish) | 1.87 m | — |
The pattern is clear: Ronaldo Jr. likely stands taller than his father already, though the exact margin varies by source. The catch: adolescent growth spurts can be rapid and unpredictable, making any 2025 measurement a snapshot rather than a final figure.
How tall was CR7 Jr. at 14 and 12?
Height at age 12
No official height data exists for Ronaldo Jr. at age 12 in any verified sports database. Transfermarkt, the most reliable source for his current data, does not archive historical height measurements for youth players. The Times of India explicitly states the exact figure remains uncertain because he is still growing.
Height at age 14
Similarly, no verified height record exists for Ronaldo Jr. at age 14. The Wikipedia (Spanish) entry, which is tier 3 in reliability, lists his height at 1.87 m but does not specify at what age this measurement was taken.
Growth trajectory
The only consistently documented measurement is the current 1.90 m figure from Transfermarkt and BeSoccer. Without longitudinal data, any growth trajectory remains speculative. What is known: at 15, he stands at 1.90 m, already exceeding his father’s documented adult height.
Which Ronaldo son is adopted?
Ronaldo’s children
Cristiano Ronaldo has five children: Cristiano Jr. (biological son), twins Eva and Mateo (born via surrogate), and Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda (with partner Georgina Rodríguez).
Adoption of twins
The twins Eva and Mateo were born via surrogate in 2017. Wikipedia confirms they are not adopted in the traditional sense — they are Ronaldo’s biological children carried by a surrogate mother. Cristiano Jr. is his biological son, not adopted.
What is Ronaldo Junior’s real name?
Full legal name
His full legal name is Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro Jr. (Wikipedia). He shares the same full name as his father, with “Jr.” appended to distinguish him.
Nickname usage
He is commonly called CR7 Jr., Ronaldo Jr., or simply Cris Jr. in media and fan circles. These nicknames derive from his father’s iconic CR7 brand and the “Junior” suffix.
Confirmed Facts vs. Unclear Claims
| Attribute | Value | Source Tier |
|---|---|---|
| Date of birth | 17 June 2010 | Tier 2 (BeSoccer, OneFootball) |
| Age (2025) | 15 | Tier 2 (Multiple sources) |
| Height | 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in) | Tier 2 (Transfermarkt) |
| Father’s height | 1.88 m (6 ft 2 in) | Tier 2 (Transfermarkt) |
| Position | Centre-forward | Tier 3 (Wikipedia) |
| Current club | Al-Nassr youth academy | Tier 3 (Public Angle, Wikipedia) |
The confirmed facts anchor on Transfermarkt data — the most reliable publicly available source. The unclear claims revolve around early-age height data and maternal identity, which no verified source has documented.
