Cristiano Ronaldo's second son, Mateo, is fast taking notes from his superstar dad's books after he was spotted in the gym.

At just six years old, Mateo is already displaying a keen interest in fitness, taking after his father, who is renowned for his dedication to training and staying in shape.

Cristiano Ronaldo's kids hit the gym

In a post shared on Georgina Rodriguez's Instagram stories, Mateo, shirtless and determined, was seen lifting a small weight suitable for his age while going through his workout routine.

Accompanied by his twin sister, Eva, who also attempted some exercises under Georgina's watchful eye, it's evident that fitness runs in the family.

Although it may seem unusual for children of their age to be hitting the gym, it's hardly surprising given Ronaldo's commitment to fitness and athleticism.

Widely regarded as the epitome of professionalism in sports, Ronaldo's relentless pursuit of excellence, coupled with his disciplined approach to training, has enabled him to maintain peak physical condition well into his late 30s.

Ronaldo gears up for Saudi Super Cup action

As Ronaldo continues to lead by example, his family are gearing up for upcoming challenges, including Al-Nassr's clash against Al-Hilal in the Saudi Super Cup on Monday, April 8, as reported by Essentially Sports.

While the Knights of Najd faced disappointment in the Asian Champions League, their focus now shifts to domestic competitions.

With the Saudi Pro League title seemingly out of reach, the 39-year-old and his teammates are eyeing success in the Kings Cup and Super Cup.

Their quest for silverware begins with the semi-final against Al-Hilal, with the ultimate goal of lifting the trophy by overcoming either Al Ittihad or Al Wehda in the final.

Ronaldo's eldest son wins league title

Sports Brief also reported that Cristiano Jr. Ronaldo's eldest son, appears to be following in his footsteps. The youngster is steadily gaining recognition in football circles as he strives to emulate his dad's remarkable career.

Recently, the teenage sensation played a pivotal role in leading the Al-Nassr Under-13s to victory in the Saudi U13 Premier League, serving as the team captain during their triumphant campaign.

Ronaldo Senior and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, were quick to express their delight at their son's achievement.
