SHOCKER! I Wanted To Abort Ronaldo – Mother
Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother, Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro has revealed she thought of aborting the attacker after discovering she was pregnant with him.
The revelation was made in a new film about Ronaldo which details his life and relationships with friends and family for the past year.
Ronaldo, 30, was named after former USA president Ronald Reagan. He was born in Santo António, a neighbourhood of Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.
He was the youngest child of his mother, a cook, and José Dinis Aveiro, a municipal gardener.

Ronaldo’s mother said in the film: “He is a child that I wanted to abort. God didn’t want that to happen and I was blessed because of that and God didn’t punish me. Sometimes Ronaldo makes fun of me and says ‘You didn’t want me to be born. But now you see that I’m here helping all of you.’ And, well, sometimes we have a laugh about that.”

He said: “He would drink nearly every day. It frustrates me that he was never able to see my successes.”
Jose Dinis died in September 2005 when Ronaldo was 20.
Ronaldo has a son called Ronaldo Junior and the superstar who has never revealed the name of the mother still did not reveal her identity in the film.
