Cristiano Ronaldo, Son Showcase Matching Physiques on Instagram

Cristiano Ronaldo and his son Cristiano Jr. have recently showcased their impressive physiques, with Ronaldo, at 40, still maintaining peak fitness alongside his 14-year-old son, who aspires to follow his father's footsteps in professional football. Ronaldo shared a shirtless photo with Cristiano Jr. on Instagram, captioned 'Tal pai tal filho' ('like father, like son'), which drew attention not only for their six-pack abs but also for Ronaldo's black-painted toenails, a practice he reportedly uses for health reasons similar to combat sports athletes. Cristiano Jr., who will soon turn 15, was recently capped by Portugal's U-15 national team, wearing the iconic number seven jersey made famous by his father, and has attracted interest from major clubs like Manchester United and Tottenham. Ronaldo expressed pride in his son's debut and success, including scoring twice in a tournament final, and has voiced a desire to play alongside him one day, while acknowledging it depends more on his son's choices. Meanwhile, former Real Madrid player Aitor Karanka commented on how players like Ronaldo and Luka Modric maintain high performance into their late 30s and 40s by adopting professional-level health and nutrition habits, enabling longevity that was rare in previous generations. Ronaldo's recent achievements include winning the UEFA Nations League with Portugal, highlighting his ongoing elite level of play as he weighs his future career options.
