Cristiano Ronaldo has long been known for his dedication to fitness, with the 40-year-old showing no signs of slowing down. From a meticulous diet to cryotherapy recovery and intense gym routines, his commitment to peak performance is legendary.
Now, that same dedication seems to be rubbing off on his teenage son, Cristiano Jr.
In a new Instagram post shared with his 657 million followers, Ronaldo proudly showed the two post-workout in what appears to be their home gym – shirtless, flexing side-by-side in one shot and sharing a proud embrace in another.
Ronaldo captioned it simply but meaningfully: “Such a father such son”, Portuguese for “Like father, like son.”
And the gym isn’t the only place where the younger Cristiano is mirroring his dad. Earlier this year, Cristiano Jr. – a member of Al-Nassr’s youth academy – scored his first international goals for Portugal’s U-15 team.
He netted twice in a win over Croatia at the Vlatko Markovic International Tournament, and celebrated in unmistakable fashion: with his father’s iconic “SIUUUU” leap, arms down by his sides, shouting triumphantly.
Naturally, Ronaldo Sr. couldn’t have been prouder. He shared clips of the moment in a joint post with the Portugal national team, proudly captioned: “Cristiano Jr.’s first two SIUUUU for Portugal!”
As Cristiano Jr. grows into his own name – both in the gym and on the pitch – it’s clear he’s not just inspired by his father’s legacy, he’s actively building on it.
