CRISTIANO RONALDO has dated some of the most beautiful and famous women in the world on his journey from dodgy-fringed Manchester United kid to global superstar.
The Portuguese hero has been linked to brief encounters with sex-tape hotel heiress Paris Hilton, as well as Mrs Kanye West; Kim Kardashian and ex-Hollyoaks star Gemma Atkinson.
Somewhere along the way he fathered a child, Cristiano Jnr, but the identity of the young boy’s mother has always remained a mystery and his most serious relationship appears to have been with Irina Shayk who he was seen out with between 2010-15 with his son.
His current girlfriend is Georgina Rodriguez and things look like getting serious after they took a holiday to France but we look at the trophy-women who have punctuated Ronaldo’s brilliant football career so far.
Gemma Atkinson
The Hollyoaks star was a bombshell when she dated the Man United winger back in 2007 but their dates were far from glamorous.
The high-profile pair spent evenings tucked away watching British sitcom Only Fools and Horses.
The actress revealed: “We just went to my house and drank cups of tea and watched Only Fools and Horses . Genuinely. With Cristiano it was mad, because everywhere he went he was followed by photographers.
Paris Hilton
The hotel heiress was at the peak of her fame following the release of a notorious sex tape so was hardly wife material for the family man.
But, in 2008, Hilton used the footballer to ensure a few more column inches in the tabloids with some over-zealous affection in celeb hangouts.
The pair were filmed at Hollywood nightspot MyHouse before driving to her sister Nicky Hilton’s nearby home in West Hollywood at 3am but Ronaldo reportedly grew tired of Hilton’s hunger for fame.
Kim Kardashian
The Euro 2016 winner jumped from one fame-famished reality TV star to another when he snuggled up to the professional celebrity in 2010.
The pair were spotted kissing when the socialite made a three-day trip to Madrid.
A source told the Sun: “She and Ronaldo were kissing and very affectionate. They looked to be getting on really well, laughing the whole time.”
Irina Shayk
2010 was a busy year for the budding actress and it was then she caught the attention of the Real Madrid man.
The beauty landed the cover of Elle Spain for their November 2010 issue and Glamour Spain awarded her Best International Model of 2010.
At the end of the year she was pictured nude in the GQ Spain December issue and around that time she hooked up with the footballer but it ended in January 2015 after she had grown close to Ron and his son.
Georgina Rodriguez
With another Ballon D’or in the bag and Ronaldo’s professional life looking sweet, he has settled down in his love life again with Spanish beauty Georegina Rodriguez.
The loved-up pair enjoyed a covert trip to Disneyland, Paris – the city of love – back in November with the super-famous star wearing a disguise to fool fellow thrill seekers.
Judging by Rodriguez’s Instagram account she has already enjoyed trips to the Bernabeu to watch the No9 play and things are getting serious.
