IT was three ‘n queasy for Cristiano Ronaldo as he shared his 38th birthday joy.
The legend strictly controls his diet – so he might feel faint just sniffing the trio of cakes unveiled on his big family day.
Ronaldo began the weekend just how he wanted… with a cheeky birthday goal.
He took the ball out of team-mate Talisca’s hands to net a stoppage-time penalty, his first goal for new club Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
And he continued exactly the way he likes it too – enjoying his birthday with partner Georgina Rodriguez and their kids.
Grinning Ron posed for a packed family shot that soon drew more than three million likes on Instagram.
The ex-Manchester United attacker posted: “Thank you everyone for all the birthday messages. Grateful to have spent the day with my family and friends.”
The five-time Ballon’ d’Or winner has regularly stated he aims to play into his 40s.
But whatever happens, his family life remains a priority as he balances supreme physical conditioning with emotional well-being.
The Portugal icon’s mood will certainly have been improved by breaking his Saudi Pro League goal duck on Friday.

Ronaldo’s spot-kick rescued a 2-2 draw at Al Fateh after he failed to score in his first two games for Al-Nassr.
He wrote afterwards: “Happy to have scored my first goal in the Saudi league and great effort by whole team to achieve an important draw in a very difficult match!”
Meanwhile, Spanish model Georgina has also become a big hit in the Middle East.
She wowed fans with a radical new look, including braids in her hair.
Those Instagram snaps racked up 1.4m likes within an hour.
And it showed she CAN hold a candle to Ron for online popularity – even when he can show off 38 of them for his birthday.
