The Portugal international is still going strong as he enters the twilight years of his career

Cristiano Ronaldo has taken to social media to post a rare image of himself and his family after celebrating his 39th birthday.

The Portugal international celebrated his birthday on Monday surrounded by his loved ones.


Ronaldo posed for the camera alongside long-term girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, who stunned in a black dress.

The football icon himself wore a checkered shirt and was holding his youngest daughter, Bella Esmeralda.

His other three children were in the snap, too.

Cristiano Ronaldo Jr looked nearly as tall as his father, with the youngster smiling in a Nike tracksuit.

And twins Eva and Matteo looked lovingly at the cakes that were on the table, with the twins seemingly preoccupied by the amazing food.

One cake seemed to be the healthy option given it consisted of fruit such as watermelons and kiwis.

A second cake was made of chocolate, while a third was visible in the background.

Ronaldo also published a second image, too.

He held Bella Esmeralda while daughter Eva looked delighted clutching some lovely white roses.

Some figures from the world of sport and celebrity have commented on the image, with former Juventus star Claudio Marchisio among them.

The Italy international said: "You are an example for many, many young footballers.

"Hard work (every day), dedication, sacrifice, before great talent! Happy birthday CR7. P.S I was so sorry not to be able to play with you."

Baseball star Robinson Cano stated: "Happy birthday goat."

Abdu Rozik commented: "Wishing you health and happiness happy birthday."

And martial arts star Jose Aldo Junior simply said 'happy birthday' while accompanying his post with two goat emojis.

Meanwhile, among those to wish Ronaldo a happy birthday was former club Manchester United.

The veteran won three Premier League titles, as well as the Champions League, while playing under Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford.

Ronaldo returned to United for a second stint back in 2021.

But he was unable to bring back the glory days and left after just 18 months, having fallen out with manager Erik ten Hag.

United have continued to toil since Ronaldo's exit in November 2022.

And Anderson, who played alongside the Al-Nassr star in Manchester, has questioned the Red Devils for letting the 39-year-old go.

"When Cristiano came back... man, it's Cristiano Ronaldo. Protect him," he told Goal.

"Out of three chances, he will make two, that's a fact.

"And whoever plays against him is afraid. And today nobody is afraid of playing against Manchester. They know that Manchester is taking beatings after beatings."

He continued: “Today Cristiano has 50 goals. ‘Ah, but it's in Saudi Arabia’, but he has 50 goals!

"Ronaldo arrived at a time when Manchester was under construction, and he scored 25 goals. And then he left."
