Cristiano Ronaldo keeps his children close even when he's on the soccer field.
The Portuguese soccer player, 41, has a sweet way of keeping his five children close to him while he's out on the pitch. The doting dad, who became the first player to score in six different World Cups on Tuesday, June 23, has the names of his children written on his cleats.

Ronaldo first became a dad in 2010 with the birth of his first son, Cristiano Jr. Seven years later, he grew his family with his fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, first welcoming twins, Eva and Matteo, via surrogate, and then a fourth child, Alana.
Then, in October 2021, the pair announced they were expecting twins, a boy and a girl. Following his daughter Bella's birth in April 2022, the soccer star shared on Instagram that their her twin brother had died.
Back in July 2024, he posted a snap of his family on Instagram, following his emotional run in the Euro 2024 Championship. In the photo, Ronaldo is surrounded by his five children and his longtime partner, 32, during their vacation in Saudi Arabia.
"My life," the star athlete wrote in the caption.
Ronaldo opted for a casual look as he wore a white T-shirt while Rodríguez rocked a strapless pink ensemble with "Juicy" emblazoned across the chest. She was seen carrying their youngest daughter, Bella, who donned a pink and white striped dress paired with white sneakers with ruffled socks.

Ronaldo shared the post on his Instagram Stories with another photo of himself in a pool with his arms folded on the edge, looking towards a sunset over a beach. His Stories also included a solo snap of him shirtless while standing on the beach in blue swim trunks and another of him looking to the side while posing at a wooden table. Lastly, a video showed him riding a bike on a wooden boardwalk.
Meanwhile, Rodríguez shared another glimpse at their family vacation, writing, “Nujuma,” in the caption, seemingly in reference to the private Ritz-Carlton resort in Saudi Arabia. The first photo in her carousel showed her posing in a white bikini as she sat on a ledge with her legs in the water.
The rest of the images showed the family participating in activities, such as walking toward a large boat, stretching in a sauna and posing on the beach.
