Cristiano Ronaldo BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s life off and on the pitch has generated more headlines than most superstars manage in a career, and the past days have been no exception. Fresh off a candid sit-down with Piers Morgan for an interview set to air in early November, the 40-year-old Al Nassr icon has opened up with remarkable transparency about retirement, legacy, and what comes next. According to the Times of India and Piers Morgan’s own announcement on X, this latest interview promises to be the most revealing yet, with Ronaldo confirming he’s preparing for the end of his legendary career—“Soon, I think I will be prepared,” he remarked, adding that while it will be tough and emotional, he’s been bracing for this moment since his mid-20s. He even admitted, “Probably I will cry, yes,” but reassured fans he’s eager for life after football, especially more time with his family, his children, and new pursuits like business, UFC, and padel—though he ruled out becoming a YouTuber, playfully teasing that he wants to try “funny things I’ve never done before.”

On the World Cup, Ronaldo’s tone has notably shifted. After Portugal’s heartbreaking exit in Qatar, he called lifting the trophy his “most ambitious dream,” but in this new interview, reported by Hindustan Times and GhanaWeb, he now downplays its significance, arguing it’s unfair to judge a player’s greatness by just one tournament. This reversal has drawn both criticism and sympathy on social media, with some fans seeing it as acceptance—or even frustration—after seeing his longtime rival Lionel Messi finally claim the prize.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo’s business empire continues to hum. He’s now officially a billionaire, a milestone he confirmed to Piers Morgan, though he insists money is no longer the driving force. He’s extended his Al Nassr contract through 2027, per Sportskeeda, and remains the face of Saudi football, even as he jokes about Riyadh’s “terrible” traffic and his preference for a chauffeur over sitting behind the wheel—a rare, relatable quip unearthed by Sport Bible.

Family remains central: his son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., has debuted for Portugal’s U16s, a proud moment Ronaldo likely attended in person, given reports he’s prioritizing family time. On the pitch, his next significant match is against FC Goa in Riyadh, according to OB News, keeping him in the spotlight for Indian fans.

On social media, Ronaldo teased the Morgan interview with a cryptic photo captioned with just two eyes, sparking speculation and excitement among his 600 million-plus followers. As for Manchester United, he still follows their results wistfully, telling Morgan he’s “sad” to see the club’s decline but hopeful for a turnaround.

In all, these days have shown a Ronaldo in transition—an icon aware his playing days are numbered, candid about his emotions, and already scripting the next act.
