Fast forward and after Ronaldo’s powerful transformation both on and off the pitch across the last 14 years, another niece has added her name to the 34-year-old’s family tree.
Her name is Valentina Aveiro, daughter of Cristiano’s second sister, Katia.
Ronaldo was quite young the first time he became an uncle to a niece. That was way back in 1999.
The second time was on February 2005, just two days after Cristiano Ronaldo’s 20th birthday.
Katia has two sons via her previous union with ex-husband. Newly-born baby Valentina, however, is the fruit of her relationship with Brazilian boyfriend Alexandre Bertolucci Jr.
Katia’s heartwarming message on Instagram, presenting the birth of baby Valentina Aveiro, read:
“And when we think that our hearts are full, exhausted with so much love, there comes a drop in the form of a human of almost 3.5 kg and 51 cm long, born through normal birth.
“Thank God for letting me see that I still have so much to live and learn!!!! And especially to love with all my (our) strengths… Completely in love with my daughter…
“Yesterday, August 27th at 20:30, another piece of me was born (from us, myself and daddy).
“Thank you all for the messages. Now, it’s time to take care of her and of myself… Because there’s so much out there that I want to teach her and tell her.”
