Cristiano Ronaldo (36) is a thoroughbred father. The world footballer is incredibly proud of his four children and shows it publicly again and again. Soon the gang of rascals will even increase: his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez (28) is currently six months pregnant with twins. Of course, the athlete lays the world at his family’s feet. However, his children do not get everything: Cristiano doesn’t allow his son to have a cellphone yet!
He said that out loud Daily Mail at an awards show in Dubai. There the athlete spoke about the impact of technology on the younger generation. “Of course technology helps us. We have to use it, but we can’t obsess over it,” he said. The footballer then reinforced his statement with a private example. “My oldest son will be 12 soon. He asks me so often if he can have a cell phone”, he said. His answer to that would be clear: “I say: ‘There’s time for that!'” So the main point would be to educate the children with technology, but not to allow them to use it all the time.
Apparently Cristiano didn’t always have this strict attitude! As a 9-year-old, his junior already had an account on Instagram, which his dad also promoted vigorously. At that time, the boy had a total of 450,000 followers within nine hours. After only three posts, the network career of the footballer offspring was over again. Cristiano had probably reconsidered the rules and the account was deleted again.
