Cristiano Ronaldo’s Heartfelt Father’s Day Tribute to His Late Dad

1 / 8

Cristiano Ronaldo marked Father’s Day with an emotional post honouring his late father. He shared a photo of himself with his five children and a childhood image alongside his dad on Instagram. His father, Jose Dinis Aveiro, worked at local Madeiran club Andorinha. He died of liver failure when Ronaldo was just 20 and early in his Manchester United career. Ronaldo recalled the support he received from Sir Alex Ferguson. The manager allowed him time off games to visit his father in hospital during that difficult period. In his caption, Ronaldo wrote: “Where I come from and who I live for. Happy Father’s Day,” followed by a red heart emoji. He has spoken before about their complicated bond and why he avoids visiting cemeteries since his father passed away.
