Cristiano Ronaldo becomes a father but mother keeps mum

He may have been an overpaid flop during the World Cup in the South Africa but Cristiano Ronaldo is basking in the joys of fatherhood for the first time.

Portuguese media reported that Ronaldo's 9lb 8oz baby boy was born on 17 June two days after Portugal played with the Ivory Coast and four days before he helped his side defeat North Korea 7-0.

But the identity of the mother was a mystery amid speculation that the former Manchester United winger had arranged for a surrogate after that he said he had "exclusive guardianship" of the child.

The Portuguese newspaper, Diario de Noticias, said that the baby boy was conceived last summer in San Diego, California.

Ronaldo's youngest sister, Katia Aveiro, told the newspaper that the baby boy has dark eyes and hair like his father.

"He is very happy, of course, who wouldn't be happy to have children?" Aveiro said. "The news is true but he doesn't want to talk about it. It's personal and when he wants to, he will talk." Ronaldo will make an official announcement when he had returned from the Madrid, where he is dealing with professional matters, she said. She did not give the baby's name and the Real Madrid star is insisted that the identify of the mother would be kept confidential.
