Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother Dolores Aveiro has unveiled that she wanted to have an abortion when she was pregnant.

She made this startling confession in her autobiography titled ‘Mother Courage’ and also admits to the fact that her doctor had refused to intervene after she took measures to terminate her pregnancy.

“I wanted to abort but the doctor didn’t support my decision,” she disclosed in her book.

Aveiro claimed that she drank warm ale (warm beer) and “ran till she dropped”, without succeeding in the attempt.

Though Portuguese footballer wasn’t present for the official launch of the book owing to his work commitments for his club Real Madrid. She also said that the football star was already aware of the attempt to abortion and Ronaldo sees the lighter side of the picture.

He told me when he found out, ‘Look mum, you wanted to abort and now I’m the one who’s pulling the purse –strings in the house.”
