Ronaldo was born in the poor suburb of Bento Ribeiro in Rio de Janeiro, where soccer was the most loved sport. He was named after Doctor Ronaldo Valente, who treated Ronaldo's mother, Sonia dos Santos Barata during her third delivery. Ronaldo, like any other Brazil child, began playing football barefooted in the neighborhood. Ronaldo's childhood hero was Ziro. By his 12th birthday he started playing in an organized youth club called Tennis Club Valqueire. There he used to play with a miniature ball. Playing with a small ball helped him develop his foot skills.
Ronaldo married Milene Domingues, a world female juggling champion. They also had a child Ronaldo, but the couple later went on to get divorced.
