CRISTIANO RONALDO shocked a singer who performed at his mum’s birthday with a £65,000 gift.

The 38-year-old Portuguese legend, who was 2023’s top goalscorer with 54 goals for Al-Nassr and his country, is currently back in Madeira.

The five-time Ballon D'or winner jetted out from Saudi Arabia in the middle of the night in order to be there to celebrate his beloved mother Maria Dolores’ 69th birthday on New Year’s Eve.

And Ronaldo’s mum was moved to tears after he gave her an incredible present.

The forward gave her a brand new Porsche Cayenne - and she instantly started to cry with joy after his son Cristiano Jr presented her with the motor.

It seems that Ronaldo was still in the mood for giving after the family organised a special bash to mark his mother’s milestone.

He invited Brazilian Setanejo singer Luan Santana to perform at her birthday party.

And the musician was himself left gobsmacked after he received a luxury Rolex watch worth £65k from the footy megastar for performing a private concert on New Year’s Eve at the Savoy Palace in Madeira.

A video of him getting the remarkable present was shared on social media.

And it shows the shell-shocked singer opening it and saying: “You didn’t do that, no. For God’s sake, man.

“You know this is my first, right? My first Rolex. What moment! From the hands of man.”

Ronaldo was himself gifted a £92k custom watch that captures iconic moments from his career ahead of the launch of a collection at Jacob & Co back in May.

And as well as his incredible collection of motors, we revealed how his passion for watches has gone through the roof since he moved to Saudi Arabia last January.

But the most expensive watch in his collection is a Franck Muller Invisible Baguette Diamonds Imperial Tourbillon worth £1.6m.

Ronaldo is currently enjoying a break away from football during the winter and is not scheduled to return to Saudi Pro League action with Al Nassr until the beginning of February.

They will be in action against Al Feiha in the AFC Champions League.

Ronaldo joined the club 12 months ago to kickstart a huge influx of big-money signings from clubs across the Gulf State.

And he signed off 2023 by scoring in Al Nassr's final Saudi Pro League match against Al-Taawoun on December 30 before jetting off for the big birthday celebrations.
