Ronaldo has confirmed via Twitter that he is indeed the father of 5-year-old Alexander, who lives with his mother Ms Michele Umezu, 28, here in Singapore.
This photograph was produced by Agência Brasil, a public Brazilian news agency.
Alexander was conceived when Ronaldo, 34, and Michele,28, had a brief fling in 2004 in Tokyo. Ronaldo, has undergone a DNA test to determine whether he was really the father.
The 3 times FIFA Champion took the test because Michelle has been trying since 2009 to have him recognised as the father and is demanding child support.
Alexander is Ronaldo’s fourth child.
