Katia Aveiro, Cristiano Ronaldo’s sister, lives in Gramado, Serra Gaúcha, and is preparing to travel to the United States to watch what should be the Portuguese star’s last World Cup, at the age of 41.
The influencer shared her excitement about the tournament on social media this Tuesday (9). Portugal debuts on June 17th against DR Congo, at the NRG Stadium, in Houston, Texas.
In a publication, Katia spoke about intensely experiencing her brother’s “last dance”. “My focus is on the last dance, the memories I will keep, the emotion I will experience,” he wrote.
In the video in stories, she said she was approached by a woman in a market who asked about the games. The Portuguese assured that she will prioritize comfort, with the national team shirt and sneakers, instead of high heels.
Katia Aveiro is married to Alexandre Bertolucci Júnior from Rio Grande do Sul and has three children. One of them, Dinis Pereira, 16, has just signed a training contract with Vitória de Guimarães, from Portugal, following in his uncle’s footsteps.
Simple routine in Serra GaúchaWith more than a million followers on Instagram, the singer and businesswoman — who has used the stage name Ronalda — usually shows everyday life in the region. In 2024, she gained attention by posting everyday moments, such as eating pastel with friends in Gravataí.
The connection with Rio Grande do Sul goes beyond housing. The family maintains strong emotional ties, and Katia balances her life as an influencer with a calmer routine away from the European spotlight.
What the last World Cup means for RonaldoCristiano Ronaldo, voted five times best in the world, is looking for the title that is still missing from his victorious career. Portugal arrives in Group K as one of the favorites, alongside Uzbekistan and Colombia, and the presence of the family can be an important emotional reinforcement in the search for the trophy.
Katia’s trip reinforces the role of the family in the star’s trajectory, who continues to inspire generations even in the final stages of his career.
