Former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward Cristiano Ronaldo has given his reasons why he has not allowed his 13-year-old son to have access to mobile phone.
Speaking during the 2022 Globe Soccer Awards held in Dubai, the legendary striker was asked whether the technology helped him become a football star, he said, “Definitely it helps a lot. It helped me and the people here, all the world, and I think we have to take advantage of that, but we shouldn’t be obsessed with it. “For example, I can give you a small impression. “My oldest child is going to be 12 years old soon and he asks me every time, ‘Daddy, can I have a phone, can I have a phone, can I have a phone.’ “I say to him, ‘Cristiano, you have time.’
Cristiano Ronaldo believes allowing his son have access to mobile phone will make him ‘obsessed with technology’ at an early age. “I know as well that this young generation are one step ahead of their age, so I agree that we have to take advantage of that but not to be obsessed about technology. “Give them but with a period of time, not give them all the time. I think that’s the main point here.”

Cristiano Ronaldo denied his son’s requests for a phone, saying he did not want to give him the impression that it was easy to get whatever he wanted. “I ask him to wait for the future. One day, Junior asked me for an iPhone to call me, but I told him no. If he wants to call me, he should through his grandmother.” “I want to transmit to my son the idea that it’s not easy getting anything he wants. Education is the best thing I could give him.”
Cristiano Jr who was nicknamed Cristianinho was born on 17 June 2010 in the United States to an anonymous surrogate mum, 6 years before Ronaldo meeting his current partner Georgina Rodriguez who together they have sired five children with one of the twins born in 2022 died after birth.
