Cristiano Ronaldo’s life seems to be in full harmony, with happiness and success on both personal and professional fronts. After an impressive year with Al-Nassr, the football legend is now gearing up to celebrate the holidays with his family. Just days before Christmas, he shared a touching moment with his youngest daughter, Bella Esmeralda, whom he shares with Georgina Rodríguez.
On December 18, Ronaldo, who recently bought a new luxury car, posted a heartwarming photo with his daughter on Instagram. The caption read “Good day” in Portuguese, followed by a heart emoji. Ronaldo beamed like a proud dad as he held Bella in his lap. Bella, who turned two in April, was all smiles as she posed with her famous father.
Bella looked precious and adorable in a light-colored patterned outfit with a lilac T-shirt underneath, holding a small Lilo & Stitch toy. Cristiano kept it casual in a gray T-shirt and shorts.
As for their Christmas plans, neither Cristiano nor Georgina have shared any details, leaving it unclear if they will stay in their Saudi Arabian home or head elsewhere. But the model has been sharing adorable updates of what they've been up to in the days leading up to it.
The couple and their kids—Cristiano Jr., Eva, Alana, Mateo, and Bella Esmeralda—often spend their holidays in places like Portugal and Spain, where both have roots. The family also enjoys vacationing at exclusive spots, like the beaches of the Red Sea.
A few months ago, Cristiano discussed fatherhood on his friend Rio Ferdinand’s podcast. He shared how he encourages his kids to embrace competitiveness. "I was in the Red Sea a couple of days ago, I play padel every day. Cristiano Jr. and I got mad and didn’t talk for two days. I’m happy about that, even little Mateo (gets competitive), I like it. It shows they have personality," he expressed proudly.
"Seriously, my kids are like me. I don’t teach them, but they learn by example because sometimes when I lose, I get mad, sometimes I cry, it depends on the moment. They’re pretty much the same, so even with my kids, I compete. I always want to win. I don’t give anything for free," he confessed at that moment, revealing the philosophy he follows in his role as a father.
