How old is Ronaldo Jr.?

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. was born on June 17, 2010, in La Mesa, California, USA (OneFootball). That makes him 15 years old as of 2025. His birth was announced by Cristiano Ronaldo via social media, though the mother’s identity has never been officially confirmed (OneFootball).

Birth date and current age

  • Born June 17, 2010 (OneFootball)
  • Age: 15 years (OneFootball)
  • Place of birth: La Mesa, California (Soccerzz)
The upshot

At 15, Ronaldo Jr. is already the same age his father was when he joined Sporting CP’s academy. The difference: he’s already playing for Portugal’s youth national team, while Cristiano Ronaldo made his senior debut at 17.

What is CR7 Jr.’s real name?

His full legal name is Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. (OneFootball). He is often called Cristiano Jr., CR7 Jr., or simply Ronaldo Jr. by fans and media. The name mirrors his father’s but with the “Jr.” suffix to distinguish the two.

Full name and documentation

  • Full name: Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. (Soccerzz)
  • Common nicknames: CR7 Jr., Cris Jr.

Why some call him Cris Jr.

In interviews, his father has referred to him simply as “Cris Jr.” (OneFootball). The informal moniker sticks because it’s shorter and avoids confusion with the senior CR7 brand.

How tall is CR7 Jr at 15?

According to OneFootball (OneFootball), Ronaldo Jr. reportedly stands at approximately 1.90 m (6 ft 3 in). That would make him taller than his father, who is measured at 1.87 m (6 ft 2 in) (OneFootball). However, other sources like Transfermarkt (specialist sports data) list his height at 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in) — though that figure could not be independently confirmed with a direct source.

The catch

The discrepancy between 1.85 m and 1.90 m matters for scouts and fans: if the lower figure is correct, he’s still growing into his frame; if the higher one holds, he already has a senior-level physique. Until an official club measurement is published, both remain plausible.

Official height measurement

  • OneFootball reports 1.90 m (low confidence) (OneFootball)
  • Transfermarkt community data suggests 1.85 m (not directly cited)
  • Father Cristiano Ronaldo: 1.87 m (high confidence) (OneFootball)

Is Ronaldo Jr taller than his father?

If the reported 1.90 m figure is accurate, then yes — Ronaldo Jr. is already three centimeters taller than his father at 15. Cristiano Ronaldo’s adult height is well-documented at 1.87 m (OneFootball). The implication: even if he stops growing now, he’ll tower over his father; if he continues to grow, he could reach 1.93–1.95 m.

Height comparison at age 15

Three factors, one pattern: Ronaldo Jr. is already at or above his father’s height at the same age.

Attribute Ronaldo Jr. (age 15) Cristiano Ronaldo (age 15)
Height 1.85–1.90 m (reported) Approx. 1.80–1.85 m (estimated)
Weight Not publicly recorded About 70 kg
Position Left winger Right winger (later)
Youth team Al-Nassr U16 Sporting CP U16
Bottom line: Ronaldo Jr. may already be taller than his father at the same age. Scouts watching his growth trajectory will have a clearer picture when Al-Nassr publishes official squad measurements.

Who is Ronaldo Jr’s mother?

This is the most persistent open question about Ronaldo Jr. Cristiano Ronaldo has never publicly named the mother. In a 2017 interview, he stated that the mother “doesn’t want to be known” and that Ronaldo Jr. is being raised solely by him (OneFootball). Various unverified rumors have circulated online, but no credible source has confirmed an identity.

Surrogacy and privacy

  • Mother’s identity not disclosed (OneFootball)
  • Cristiano Ronaldo has said the mother wishes to remain private
  • Ronaldo Jr. has been raised by his father and paternal grandmother
Why this matters

For fans and biographers, the mother’s identity is the missing piece in Ronaldo Jr.’s background. Until it is confirmed, every story about his upbringing includes a known gap — one that doesn’t affect his football but fuels endless speculation.

Does Ronaldo Jr play for Portugal youth teams?

Yes. Ronaldo Jr. has represented Portugal at the U15 and U16 levels. He scored two goals in four appearances for Portugal U15, according to OneFootball (OneFootball). He is eligible for multiple national teams through birth (USA) and ancestry (Cape Verde) but chose Portugal (OneFootball).

Portugal U16 appearances

  • Portugal U15: 4 matches, 2 goals (OneFootball)
  • Portugal U16: current squad member (OneFootball)
  • Position: left winger (OneFootball)

Youth career at Al-Nassr

Since January 2023, he has been part of Al-Nassr’s U16 setup after moving with his father from Manchester United (Soccerzz). Before that, he trained at Juventus and Manchester United youth academies (OneFootball).

Timeline of Ronaldo Jr.’s youth career

  • June 17, 2010 — Born in La Mesa, California (OneFootball)
  • 2018 — Begins youth training at Juventus academy (OneFootball)
  • 2021 — Moves to Manchester United youth system (OneFootball)
  • January 2023 — Joins Al-Nassr U16 (Soccerzz)
  • 2024 — Represents Portugal U16 (OneFootball)
Bottom line: Ronaldo Jr. has followed his father’s transfers across Europe and now Saudi Arabia, receiving top-tier youth coaching at three elite clubs before age 15. His international choice for Portugal sets a clear path: he wants to wear the same shirt his father made famous.

Quotes and perspectives

“Cristiano Jr. is already taller than many of his teammates and trains very hard. He has a lot of potential.”

Cristiano Ronaldo, in an interview cited by OneFootball

“He is a left winger who can also play on the right. He’s right-footed and already has good physical attributes for his age.”

Scouting profile on Soccerzz

Summary: At 15, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. has already matched or exceeded his father’s physical growth at the same age, while accumulating youth minutes at three elite academies and earning Portugal U16 caps. For fans tracking his progress, the open questions about his height and mother’s identity are secondary to one concrete reality: he’s on a professional youth track that, if he maintains his current rate of development, could see him debut in senior football within three to four years. For Portugal’s youth setup, the choice is clear: keep developing a player who carries both genetic potential and the discipline of a champion household, or risk losing him to another federation’s call.
