Cristiano Ronaldo, the Al Nassr forward, has bolstered his security detail with a new team amid growing concerns for his family’s safety. The move comes in response to threats directed at the 40-year-old and his loved ones, with a notably “intimidating” bodyguard now tasked with their protection. Ronaldo’s security in Saudi Arabia has become a pressing issue following a wave of unsettling incidents.

Reports indicate that the star and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, have faced a series of disturbing threats via social media, prompting an overhaul of his support staff. According to the Malaysian news outlet NST, Ronaldo, Georgina, and their children had been enjoying a relatively low-profile life in the Middle East until menacing messages and images surfaced online. This escalation has compelled the five-time Ballon d’Or winner to act swiftly.

As part of a broader effort to safeguard their family, Georgina has also scaled back on sharing glimpses of their children on social media, aligning with the couple’s heightened security measures.
