Cristiano Ronaldo's mother, Dolores Aveiro, has explained why she does not visit her son and his family often in Saudi Arabia.

Portuguese media reports alleged the Al-Nassr star was fed up with his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, and they could be on the verge of splitting up.

The reports further indicate that Dolores and Georgina do not have a good relationship.

According to Marca, Dolores is preventing his son from marrying Georgina because she believes the former storekeeper is in for financial gains in case of a divorce.

However, the 68-year-old has dismissed any suggestion that she has stopped visiting her son and his family because her relationship with Georgina was on the rocks.

While at an event in a shopping centre in Funchal, Portugal, Dolores was quizzed about her relationship with her son and visits to his house.

“It takes many hours by plane. It’s very tiring,” she said, as quoted by Essentially Sports.

Travelling to Saudi Arabia from Portugal takes 15 to 20 hours for a one-way flight. It is mandatory for flights to have a layover in Dubai before moving to Riyadh when travelling from Lisbon.

She jetted to the Middle East in February shortly after the dad-of-five moved into his new home with Georgina and their children after checking out of their rooms at the plush Four Seasons hotel at Kingdom Centre.

Delores stayed there for several weeks after the former Manchester United striker sealed his £173million-a-year move to Saudi side Al-Nassr.

Georgina responds to breakup rumours

Sports Brief reported that Georgina reacted to breakup rumours about her relationship with the 38-year-old Portuguese superstar.

There have been reports of difficulties in the relationship, with many suggesting an end could be near for the seven years affair between the two.

This coincides with Dolores relocating to Saudi Arabia to join the family after they left Four Seasons Hotel for a family home in Riyadh.
