Cristiano Ronaldo Finds Out He's a Dad, Explains His Spotty World Cup Play The mystery of why Cristiano Ronaldo was practically invisible in Portugal’s short-lived appearance in the 2010 World Cup may have been solved. He just found out he’s a father.

According to the international soccer star’s website, he has learned that a woman, who will remain anonymous, has given birth to his child.

“It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship,” Ronaldo wrote on his site.

Something tells us that while he claims he just learned about his new kid, he may have had an inkling while Portugal was doing battle with the likes of Brazil and Spain. News like that will certainly distract you.
