All-Star Athletes Who Are All-Star Dads

Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo is by no means your average parent. He has four kids with two different women and a surrogate, all while being unmarried. Despite his unconventional life, he is by far one of the most doting fathers in soccer! When asked about being a father, he said that fatherhood has "taught me things about love that I never knew existed. It has softened me and given me a different perspective on what is really important in my life." 

Unconventional Lifestyle

Ronaldo is the father to 10-year-old Cristiano Jr., whose mother is not known to the public, three-year-old twins Eva Maria and Mateo, who was born to a surrogate, and three-year-old Alana Martina, whom he shares with girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez. His eldest son is already a top player in Portugal's youth soccer team and he aspires to be just like his dad.
