IT was three 'n queasy for Cristiano Ronaldo as he shared his 38th birthday joy.

The legend strictly controls his diet - so he might feel faint just sniffing the trio of cakes unveiled on his big family day.

Al-Nassr new boy Cristiano Ronaldo celebrated his birthday the way he loves best, with family and friends, as well as with three cakes

Ronaldo began the weekend just how he wanted... with a cheeky birthday goal.

He took the ball out of team-mate Talisca's hands to net a stoppage-time penalty, his first goal for new club Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.

And he continued exactly the way he likes it too - enjoying his birthday with partner Georgina Rodriguez and their kids.

Grinning Ron posed for a packed family shot that soon drew more than three million likes on Instagram.

The ex-Manchester United attacker posted: "Thank you everyone for all the birthday messages. Grateful to have spent the day with my family and friends."

The five-time Ballon' d'Or winner has regularly stated he aims to play into his 40s.

But whatever happens, his family life remains a priority as he balances supreme physical conditioning with emotional well-being.

The Portugal icon's mood will certainly have been improved by breaking his Saudi Pro League goal duck on Friday.

Ronaldo's spot-kick rescued a 2-2 draw at Al Fateh after he failed to score in his first two games for Al-Nassr.

He wrote afterwards: "Happy to have scored my first goal in the Saudi league and great effort by whole team to achieve an important draw in a very difficult match!"

Meanwhile, Spanish model Georgina has also become a big hit in the Middle East.

She wowed fans with a radical new look, including braids in her hair.

Those Instagram snaps racked up 1.4m likes within an hour.

And it showed she CAN hold a candle to Ron for online popularity - even when he can show off 38 of them for his birthday.
