Cristiano Ronaldo put his son Cristiano Jnr through an intense workout programme as the pair bonded in a heart-warming father/son moment.
The Portuguese legend is continuing to star in the twilight years of his sensational career in Saudi Arabia with his partner Georgina Rodríguez and children.
Ronaldo is the father of five children with Cristiano Jnr the eldest after being conceived through a surrogate and four other kids later following, with another son sadly passing away at birth.
Cristiano Jnr is aspiring to match his dad’s footsteps of becoming a professional superstar and has been by his father’s side throughout Ronaldo’s record-breaking achievements.
Now playing for Al-Nassr’s academy with Ronaldo Snr the star of the club’s first-team, the 14-year-old is training with his dad in their private gym in a bid to continue his development.

The viral video shared online shows the pair sat together at a dining table, having breakfast and discussing what time Cristiano Jnr woke up in the morning with the youngster continuing that he wants to go back to sleep.
The 39-year-old isn’t so keen on the idea and tells his eldest child that they will be doing a workout together, stating: ‘Muscle up, five exercises, carpet, five exercises, carpet.
‘One hour, I’m going to do the same as you. There are three series of two minutes that is a total of six.
‘Do two minutes, do it at the same time. You make a belt and I make another and we do it at the same time,’ he added.
The couple then are shown together in the gym with Ronaldo encouraging his son to get started on the lateral pulldown machine while he observes.

Ronaldo then has a go on the machine after his son has finished and later continues working out on various machines in the luxury fitness setting.
Despite his enthusiasm for getting his son in shape, Ronaldo previously revealed that he isn’t an overbearing father and allows his children to make their own choices.
“My son has potential, We’ll see if he will become a great footballer. Sometimes he drinks coke and eats crisps and it irritates me,’ said Ronaldo previously.
‘I just want him to be the best in whatever he chooses to do. I always tell him, hard work is the most important.”
