Manchester United forward Cristiano Ronaldo's personal life has long been a topic of interest for many, given his lavish lifestyle and rise to the very top of celebrity stardom. Born in Madeira back in 1985, the Man United striker's off-field antics involving his family have been something he tries to seemingly protect at all costs.
Coming from humble beginnings, Ronaldo's father was an alcoholic who died aged 52 back in 2005. A retired army veteran, Jose unfortunately never got to witness his son's glory years as one of the world's best footballers. Cristiano's mother has also previously admitted there was talk of an abortion prior to her son's birth due to money worries.
But from rags to riches, the former Real Madrid man has stuck to his promises of never touching alcohol due to his father's addiction and it seems his saddened childhood has only stimulated him during his adult life to give the best he can to those closest around him.
