Fans stunned as Ronnie O’Sulllivan’s kids ‘look more like him than he does’ in cute photo after Masters final triumph

Ronnie's kids were on hand after his elbow hurt too much to lift the trophy

STUNNED fans have said that Ronnie O'Sullivan's kids "look more like him than he does" after he was pictured with them after winning the masters.

O'Sullivan, 48, became the oldest player to ever win a masters title yesterday and celebrated at Ally Pally with his daughter and son.

The pair bore a remarkable resemblance to their father, clearly inheriting the potter's signature eyebrows.

Lily (born 2006) and Ronnie Jr (born 2007) helped their father lift the trophy due to him nursing a sore elbow.

They are the children of Ronnie and former long-term partner Jo Langley.

O'Sullivan fought from 6-3 down to claim a record-extending eighth world title against Ali Carter.

And fans were quick to point out just how close the resemblance was between O'Sullivan and his kids.

One wrote on Twitter: "Ronnie O'Sullivan's kids looks more like Ronnie O'Sullivan than Ronnie O'Sullivan does."

Another added: "Oh my god, I've just seen Ronnie O'Sullivan's kids. No DNA test needed there."

A third posted: "Ronnie's kids look more like Ronnie than Ronnie does!"

While a fourth said: "Christ Ronnie can’t deny them kids!"

O'Sullivan's victory was his 23rd across all major titles in the sport.

And the bonus for winning The Masters will see him net £250,000.

O'Sullivan won the same amount at the UK Championships, and a win at the Crucible could see him pocket £1million in winnings alone.

In other news, O'Sullivan has announced he will now take a short break from snooker ahead of the Crucible.

Speaking on Eurosport, O’Sullivan said: “I’m a bit played-out, to be honest with you.

“I had such a strong push September-October-November December, I really went hard at every tournament.

“I look at the first four months as the main part of my season. I put everything into that and I did better than I thought I would do.

“Subconsciously you think, I was quite content with that. It’s hard to keep motivating yourself. It really is. This game is too hard.

“I’m going to take two months off now. I’ll probably just play next week because it’s 32 players. I’ve earned my way to get in that tournament.

"But I’ll just swerve all the other tournaments now. I feel like I want a break.

"I’m looking forward to getting on the exhibition circuit, start playing more exhibitions, I enjoy them, they’re a bit of fun.

“Too much intense snooker for me is not good. I need to back off and consolidate and get some fun in the game so the exhibitions will be good.

"I’ve got a busy March, May, June, July so I don’t want to be fatigued going into that.

“I’ve had a great season, even if I’d just won the Shanghai Masters I’ve had a great season. I took the UK and nicked this one as well so I’ve had an amazing season.”
