“This generation, it’s difficult to tell them something and let them do it…They see me every day what I do, at home, or in training or in a game,” the athlete said on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast in September 2024. “They say, ‘My dad works a lot every time.’ They see that.”
As for Cristiano Jr., he continued, “He’s 14 years old. He has pressure on him already being the son of Cristiano…Let him do his things. I hope so, in the future, he can be a professional player. If he’s not a player, does another job, I always will support him. We can’t make pressure on our sons because we are famous.”
While Georgina didn’t come into Cristiano’s life until his son was 6, she considers Cristiano Jr. as much her son as she does the kids they later had together.
When the lad turned 14 in 2024, she posted to her Instagram, “Happy Birthday to my big boy…I love you to the moon and baaacccckkkk.” (She also wasn’t kidding about big: In the video she shared of him opening presents, the teen was taller than his mom. And the proud owner of a Louis Vuitton roller bag.)
