In a recent interview, Ms. Dolores revealed a very small story, but it shows the filial piety of her famous son Ronaldo.

With his sharp looks and flamboyant goal celebrations, Cristiano Ronaldo often sparks controversy, with many labeling CR7 as arrogant. But like two sides of a coin, there’s another side to Ronaldo that often goes unnoticed.

Beyond the public debates, one reason the 31-year-old Real Madrid superstar has captured the hearts of millions is his genuine kindness and deep devotion to his family. Ronaldo is not only a football icon but also a compassionate soul, known for his generous support of underprivileged children, his efforts in building schools and hospitals, and his dedication to helping those affected by war across the globe.

But what truly reveals Ronaldo’s character is his profound respect and love for his family. A simple story shared by his mother, Dolores, has only deepened fans’ admiration for the Portuguese superstar, proving that behind the fame and fortune lies a devoted son with a heart of gold.

  Dolores has a special meaning to Ronaldo.

“I will send bodyguards to protect you. Only then will I feel truly secure,” Dolores shared in an interview with ISC, on the occasion of the group launching a new smartphone application called “Júlia – de Bem com a Vida”.

Dolores admitted that she never wanted Ronaldo to do that because she didn’t like the feeling of having someone else following her around. She also joked that having little Cristiano Jr. following her around was already annoying enough.

But deep down, Dolores certainly feels satisfied to have a filial son like Ronaldo, even though that special care and love can sometimes make her feel uncomfortable.

 There is news that Irina Shayk broke up with Ronaldo partly because she did not get along with Ms. Dolores.

Ronaldo was born into a poor, unfortunate family, with his father, Jose Dinis Aveiro, a gardener who was a heavy drinker and died from this bad habit. In interviews, Ronaldo has mentioned his mother Dolores more than once with absolute respect. If there is someone who can intervene in every aspect of Ronaldo’s life, including his marriage, it can only be Mrs. Dolores, the 61-year-old woman who has spent half her life raising Ronaldo’s four brothers to adulthood.

Ronaldo has become a football star with a fortune of more than 200 million euros and now it is time for him to repay his mother for raising him, as well as help his siblings in the family. Ronaldo takes care of his mother’s life, opens a fashion store under his brand for his two sisters Elma and Liliana and his brothers-in-law to manage.

But in the story of Ronaldo’s filial piety to his family, what impressed fans most was the Portuguese superstar’s act of betting the Champions League Cup with his brother Hugo.

After the final whistle of the 2013/14 Champions League final, Ronaldo immediately went to a corner of the stands where his brother Hugo was standing. Ronaldo and Hugo hugged each other and behind that hug was a meaningful message.

Hugo was also an alcoholic like Jose Denis and Ronaldo did not want his brother to suffer the same fate as his father. CR7 made a bet with his brother: If Ronaldo and Real Madrid won the Champions League, Hugo would have to quit drinking. Ronaldo did it and his brother Hugo also had to keep his promise to quit drinking with his filial younger brother.

In the glamorous world of football, there are few superstars like Ronaldo!
