Cristiano Ronaldo posted a photo with his son, triggering online debate over who’s taller. He later revealed Ronaldo Jr. is just 2cm shorter as he nears his 15th birthday.
Cristiano Ronaldo recently shared a proud father-son moment on social media, posting a photo alongside his eldest child, Ronaldo Jr., who is quickly approaching his 15th birthday—and possibly his father’s height.
The image, showing the pair standing side by side, immediately sparked discussion online, with fans and former teammates commenting on how the young footballer appears to have nearly outgrown his father.
One notable comment came from Ronaldo’s former Manchester United teammate, who jokingly wrote: “He’s getting taller than you, brother.”
Ronaldo soon responded, putting the speculation to rest: “I’m 187 cm, and he’s just 2 cm shorter.” The revelation adds to growing excitement around Ronaldo Jr.’s development as a young footballer.
Currently training at the Al Nassr academy, Ronaldo Jr. made his debut for the Portugal U-15 national team at a recent memorial tournament in Croatia, with his grandmother, Maria Dolores, cheering him on from the stands.
Though CR7 didn’t attend the match in person, he congratulated his son online—showing once again that the next generation of the Ronaldo legacy is well underway.
