Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, 9, opens Instagram account with message in FOUR languages… and already has almost 900k followers
CRISTIANO RONALDO’S eldest son has debuted on Instagram – and raked up a staggering 880k followers in less than 24 hours after introducing himself to fans in four languages.
Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, also known as Cristianinho, showed he’s already a skilled linguist despite being just nine years old by presenting himself to the world in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
He gave the thumbs up after smiling at the camera and saying in English: “Hi guys. This is my new Instagram account. I hope you enjoy. Take care” before switching seamlessly to the other three languages.
He proved an immediate hit, with the selfie video being watched by 3million people in its first 22 hours online.
Juventus striker Ronaldo, 35, replied with a kiss emoji.
While pal Miguel Paixao added: “Welcome Chris.”
The youngster, who is calling his Instagram site Minicristianoronaldo2010, followed it up by posting a picture of him and his younger siblings – twins Eva and Mateo, two, and Alana, daughter of Ronaldo and stunning partner Georgina Rodriguez, also two – in a bathtub with their dad.
And he went on to make Rodriguez, who is helping to raise Cristiano Jr and his three siblings, happy by posting a photo of the two of them together at Milan fashion week.
One astonished fan messaged him alongside the photo by saying in Portuguese: “You’re going to break the one million followers mark today.”
The amazing start puts Cristiano Jr to on course to beat his 35-year-old dad, who has 205m followers but took far longer to build up such a big fan base.
Georgina, 26, who was working in a clothes shop when she met the former Real Madrid star, has 16.7m followers on Instagram.
The names of the mums of Ronaldo’s eldest three children have never been made public.

Eva and Mateo, three, were delivered by a California-based obstetrician named as Dr Maria Castillo at the Sharp Grossmont Hospital near San Diego.
Mystery surrounds the birth of his eldest son.
Ronaldo’s family has always refused to discuss whether the youngster was born to a surrogate mum, despite claims by a former nanny the footballer’s sister Katia Aveiro had told her he had two Mexican mums.
