Dolores Aveiro appealed to sexy Nereida Gallardo to win back her son from the 28-year-old hotel heiress.
We revealed yesterday how Dolores, 54, was appalled by the Manchester United star's antics with Paris in Los Angeles as he celebrated his £80million transfer to Real Madrid.
Sources close to the family say his concerned mum hopes Ronaldo, who dumped Nereida by text, will see a lot more of the Spanish siren after his move to her home country.
A family friend said: "Dolores was really upset with Cristiano over the way he treated Nereida - she felt terrible for her.
Some said she never liked Nereida because she thought she was after Cristiano's money but that was not true.
"Dolores liked Nereida and was certain she was going to be the one.
"After they broke up Dolores kept in touch with her and tried to help her get over him.
"Then she told Cristiano to apologise to Nereida, and told Nereida to forgive her son."
The pal added: "Cristiano realised he had behaved badly so he sent her a text saying sorry and they started swapping messages.
"He has realised how much he missed her - he has fallen in love with her again.
"It will be easier for him to see more of Nereida now he will be in Madrid."
The Portuguese winker met Nereida, 25, in Mallorca last year. The nursing home assistant, who tried to launch a
career as a model, occasionally stayed with the star at his luxury home in Cheshire.
The pal said: "Nereida would have gone to Los Angeles on holiday with Cristiano but she's been busy at work. They are taking things slowly."
Ronaldo, 23, is preparing for a hernia op he hopes will not jeopardise his Madrid move.
Paris is recording a TV show in Dubai and friends said they plan a "long-distance relationship".
