The Emotional Journey of Ronaldo’s Mother: From Desiring Escape to Sacrificing Every Penny to Nurture Her Son’s Passion. ‘I Am Proud to Be Cristiano Ronaldo’s Mother’

Cristiano Ronaldo remembered to bring his mother to the field upon his return to Old Trafford. When CR7 scored in the opening game, Maria Dolores Aveiro started crying. After enduring innumerable adversities in the past, the mother of the world’s greatest player deserves to grow old in happiness with her son.

Ronaldo is thin.

Jose Dinis Aveiro was the first exit designated for Mrs. Dolores. Before turning 22, she had three children after getting married at the age of 18. The Aveiro family made the decision to stop having children after their plans “broke” out of nowhere. Dolores did not want the baby to be born the day she found out she was expecting the child who would grow up to be Cristiano Ronaldo.

Dolores first visited the doctor to inquire about the abortion process. The fetus was too huge, according to the doctor, and having an abortion could have a negative impact on her health. She reluctantly gave birth to her fourth kid as a result of the circumstances. The name “Ronaldo” was inspired by US President Ronald Reagan and Cristiano Ronaldo was born on February 5, 1985. The younger brother was raised with a love of football and his mother by the elder siblings in the family, who began working to get money at an early age.

The amount of affection Mrs. Dolores feels for Ronaldo—the child she nearly rejected—cannot be measured. CR7 received an expulsion letter from the school along with an invitation to a parents’ meeting when she was fourteen years old. Ronaldo’s behavior, according to the homeroom teacher, was inappropriate. The entire classroom laughed when he dared to grab a chair and hurl it at the teacher.

With this attitude toward studying, your child won’t be able to do anything,” Dolores was told angrily by the other teacher. Ronaldo’s mother did not respond to the remarks and did not even reprimand her son when CR7 returned home. Dolores gave Ronaldo her whole trust and attention, paying particular attention to his declaration that he intended to leave school in order to focus on his football career.

Dolores takes care of everything at home, so Ronaldo can concentrate fully on competing anywhere in the globe. Mrs. Dolores took care of Ronaldo’s feeding and daily schooling while CR7 was a Real Madrid player. Ronaldo’s personal life is also directly influenced by his mother. Models and singers can be dated by CR7, but living together is a different matter entirely. Ronaldo and Irina Shayk once called it quits on their five-year courtship due of his mother’s disapproval of their marriage.

Dolores’ health deteriorated as CR7 progressively approached the end of his career. Ronaldo’s mother just underwent surgery following a stroke last year, and she has previously been treated for breast cancer twice. This woman’s resilience and years of battling adversity prevented her from falling. She has to live on in order to be Ronaldo’s steadfast ally, as she has been for the previous twenty years.

Dolores had to take on the roles of mother and father in the home when Ronaldo was a small child. In 2005, Mr. José Dinis Aveiro passed away from cirrhosis after spending all of his earnings on alcohol. Before Ronaldo became well-known, Dolores was the only person who managed the family’s savings. She fell in love again after her husband died, this time with Jose Andrade, a guy her own age. After serving as a police officer in Portugal, Mr. Andrade retired to become a gardener.

Dolores initially kept Ronaldo’s new partner a secret. They decided to live together forever and only went public after dating for about a year. Mr. Andrade looks after the children alongside Ronaldo’s mother and drives them to school each day, remaining by her side like a shadow. He did not want to be known for “taking advantage” of Ronaldo’s family, so they cohabitated but did not get married. Additionally, CR7 views him like a family member, and on social media, pictures of Mr. Andrade frequently appear beside him.
