During the vowel renewal in a church in Funchal, Hugo Aveiro and his wife Rubina relived their wedding day.

Although the ceremony was quite modest, they did have a lavish wedding cake

Despite not attending the ceremony, Ronaldo sent a video message congratulating his brother and sister-in-law. On Sunday he scored his 400th goal since turning 30 in a 2-0 win for Al Nassr.

Cristiano’s older sister Elma, who is herself an influencer with 677,000 followers, shared many photos during the event.

The influencer was stunning in a floor-length purple dress, opting for plenty of glamor with the plunging neckline and a £3,400 Valentino bag.

Her daughter Eleonor, 18, opted for a silk burgundy one with an open back and metal straps.

Meanwhile, Katia, 46, looked stunning in green in another floor number.

The singer, who performs in Portugal under the stage name Ronalda, paired the emerald green dress with a classic gold chain and heels.

Their mother, Maria Dolores, completed the colorful lineup in a Barbie pink jumpsuit.

‘My heart can’t handle it. My family, my people, love above all,” Elma wrote in a sweet Instagram post.

Despite living a jet-set lifestyle and playing in Manchester, Madrid and now Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has remained close to his siblings, all of whom still live in Maderia, Portugal.

He has helped Hugo in his battle against alcohol and substance abuse, including paying for a stint in rehab.

“There is no doubt that his money helped save Hugo,” their mother Dolores told the newspaper Daily record in 2007. ‘It could have been very different if Cristiano had not been a footballer.’

Hugo now works as a manager for Ronaldo’s museum in Madeira.

There is a history of addiction in Ronaldo’s family. He lost his father, Dinis, when he was twenty.

“Cristiano has seen what drinking and drugs can do to people close to him and it is part of the reason he has become who he is today,” Dolores said.

“What happened to our family explains why Cristiano has no vices. He doesn’t smoke or drink. His addiction is football.

‘Dinis drank himself into an early grave, leaving Cristiano devastated. Cristiano had a very close bond with his father.

‘He would have liked him to still be there and see the player he is now. It’s very sad.’
