Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed how being a father has changed him as a person. Ronaldo has three children - Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, seven, infant twins Eva Maria and Mateo. His partner Georgina Rodriguez is pregnant with the couple's first child. "Being a father is a unique and personal journey, something that has changed me completely. It's 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. I can't wait to be a dad again," the Real Madrid star told Portuguese magazine Hola recently.

Ronaldo also spoke about how his children have brought immense joy in his life. "Being a father and seeing my family grow is without a doubt the greatest privilege I've had. Spending time with them, being by their side, smiling and laughing with them. They've brought a lot of happiness and joy to my life." Praising his son Cristiano Jr, he said, "He's a very affectionate boy, attentive, friendly, respectful and very open with people. Everyone who meets him is surprised at how confident he is. That makes me feel very proud as a dad his son."
