The Brazilian married footballer Milene Domingues in 1999 when she was pregnant with his first son, Ronald. He was married to Domingues for four years before parting ways on amicable terms. In 2005, he got married to MTV presenter Daniela Cicarelli in a million dollar ceremony at Chantilly but they were together for only three months.

He then got engaged to Maria Beatriz Antony in 2008 who gave birth to two girls in two years. It was later revealed that Ronaldo had one more child from his affair during the 2002 World Cup with a waitress in Tokyo.

After paternity tests revealed that Ronaldo was the father from his affair in Japan, the Brazilian revealed that he had done a vasectomy on December 6, 2010. Ronaldo said that having four children were enough for him and that he needed to "close the factory" which prompted him to undergo a vasectomy.
