    Has Brazil icon Ronaldo finally mellowed after rocky marriages, parties with ‘buses of girls’ & ‘3 prostitutes’ scandal?

    BRAZIL legend Ronaldo Nazario is planning a huge wedding Ibiza party on Friday with 400 guests – but it should be more sedate than what the football wildman got up to in the past.The 47-year-old World Cup winner was known as the “president of the parties” and once took three prostitutes back to a hotel room – only for it to become a global scandal.

    Ronaldo, though, insists he has settled down since meeting model and businesswoman Celina Locks, 33, seven years ago.
    Celina became his second wife when they tied the knot on the Spanish island in an intimate ceremony this week.
    It was a very traditional ceremony, with the bride and and groom dressed in white and being showered by petals as they left the church. 
    They are reportedly going to follow it with a star-studded celebration at his holiday villa in Ibiza.

    Before his proposal Ronaldo joked: “I was also the president of the parties. I organised most of the parties.
    “My girlfriend now is very happy that I have also retired from the parties – and I miss it so much.”
    Ronaldo, who played for both Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain, had a reputation for living it up even when he was a professional footballer.
    Former teammate Ivan Helguera claimed that “buses of girls” would turn up to enjoy Ronaldo’s hospitality.

    He said: “I remember a birthday party at Ronaldo’s house, which he later sold to Sergio Ramos, where buses full of girls began to arrive. 
    “I was with my wife and we decided to leave, as did Figo.”
    Rocky romances
    Ronaldo’s sexual appetite has proven to be problematic.
    His first marriage to women’s footballer Milene Domingues, 44, lasted four years and produced one son, Ronald, 23.
    Two years after they split, he walked down the aisle with model Daniella Cicarelli in February 2005, in a glamorous wedding where Fat Boy Slim DJed at the reception.
    But it was reportedly not legally binding because neither of the couple’s divorces had been officially signed off.
    Three months later the relationship was over, with Daniella alleging that her fiance had been unfaithful.
    A paternity test later revealed that a Brazilian waitress called Michele Umezu had given birth to Ronaldo’s son Alexander in April 2005.
    He had met Michelle in Tokyo three years earlier.
    The next potential Mrs Ronaldo was engineering student Maria Beatriz Antony.
    But the footballer dramatically upended their engagement by taking three prostitutes back to his hotel room in Rio de Janeiro in the spring of 2008.
    Prostitute scandal
    Ronaldo was shocked to discover that they were in fact men and alleged that they tried to get the millionaire player to hand over £15,000.
    The police superintendent in charge of the case said: “Ronaldo admits the facts. He said he just wanted to amuse himself, that’s not a crime.
    “To pay to have sexual relations isn’t illegal. There’s a strong chance that Ronaldo has been the victim of extortion.”
    Maria, who was pregnant at the time of the scandal, left her husband-to-be before changing her mind and going back to him.
    They had two daughters – Maria Sofia, 14, and Maria Alice, 13 – during their seven-year relationship.

    Ronaldo has a reputation for his generous spirit, offering to pay for huge meals in restaurants and looking after friends.
    But hiding behind that huge smile was an anxious star.
    Ronaldo, who suffered from several injuries during his career before retiring in 2011, revealed last year: “Today I am in therapy. I have been in therapy for two and a half years and I understand myself much better than before.”
    Like David Beckham, the wealthy ex-player sees value in owning football clubs.
    He became the biggest share owner of Spanish side Real Valladolid in September 2018 and three years later took control of his boyhood club Cruzeiro in Brazil.
    But neither team is doing well and fans have protested.
    Settled down
    The rotund star, who battled with weight problems as a player, appears to be ready for a more settled life with Celina.
    She told Vogue magazine about how confident he was when they met seven years ago.
    Celina recalled: “He said I would fall in love in two months. I burst out laughing, but it happened.”
    He popped the question during a romantic trip to the Caribbean, announcing their engagement this January.
    Celina said: “It was very special for him to look at me not only as the love of his life, but to exalt me as a woman.”
    Two months later fans thought that Celina was pregnant when she posted a photograph of herself with her hand on the stomach next to the words: “A new phase of my life is beginning and with it a great responsibility.”
    It turned out, though, that she wasn’t due to become a mother.
    Whatever happens, it is clear that the couple are going to celebrate their nuptials in style.

    ‘Fragile’ Shakira makes heartbreaking Pique confession in tell-all interview and admits she’s still plagued by ‘demons’

    POP icon Shakira said she believed in “till death do us part” in a tell-all interview about her split from football ex Gerard Pique.The Colombian star, 46, said that it was once her “dream” to have a life-long relationship with the father of her two children.

    She revealed that since the turbulent breakdown of their relationship, she is still “battling her demons”.
    Slamming her ex in talks about her upcoming music, she compared the split to being “thrown in the trash and surrounded by rats”.
    And in a heartbreaking revelation, the star also admitted her struggles with being a single mum.
    The singer told Billboard that she is in “a reflective period” following the drama of their tumultuous split.

    “I’ve gone through several stages: denial, anger, pain, frustration, anger again, pain again. Now I’m in a survival stage,” she explained.
    A fragile Shakira said that before she split from her ex, who was rumoured to have cheated, she “believed in till death do us part”.
    “My priority was my home, my family. I believed in ’till death do us part.’ I believed that dream, and I had that dream for myself, for my children.”
    “It’s what I wanted for myself and my children, but it didn’t happen.”
    Most read in Football
    The singer also opened up about her music, describing the “organic” opportunities she’s had since her split to produce new tracks.
    Several of her most recent singles have appeared to be swipes aimed at her ex, including The Boss.
    The song is named after the alleged nickname given to her by Pique’s friends after she failed to hang out with them or bond with them during the pair’s relationship.
    The music video for the track also features the nanny her ex allegedly fired without pay.
    Another one of her singles talks about wanting more in a relationship that feels like drinking out of an empty cup.
    And her new music video for the single Copa Vacia features Shakira as a siren, where she “returns to the sea because it’s her destiny”.
    The star explained: “The siren is a symbol that represents that part of me that was abducted and taken from a world where she belongs to a world where she doesn’t belong.
    “A world she had to make enormous sacrifice to be in. A world where perhaps she lacked oxygen.
    “But in the end, she returns to the sea because it’s her destiny, just like I returned to Miami.
    “This siren was first abducted and then, for love, is next to this man, captive and locked up in a way. Sacrificing her own well-being and what is natural for her for love. And then she ends up thrown in the trash and surrounded by rats.”
    Opening up about her life before the split, Shakira said that her career struggled during the family’s ten years in Barcelona.
    “I was dedicated to him. To the family, to him. It was very difficult for me to attend to my professional career while in Barcelona.”
    Now in Miami, the star said it is easier for her to travel to Los Angeles or elsewhere in the US, and have collaboraters come to her.
    “I had to wait for agendas to coincide or for someone to deign to come. I couldn’t leave my children and just go somewhere to make music outside my house.”
    “Right now, I have an idea and I can immediately collaborate with whomever I want to.”
    The pop icon said that now she is focusing her energy on quality time with her children, but struggles sometimes with being a single mum.
    The pair have two boys together, Milan, 9, and Sasha, 7.
    “Sometimes I think being a single mom and the rhythm of a pop star aren’t compatible. I have to put my kids to bed, go to the recording studio; everything is uphill.”
    “It’s constant juggling.”
    The couple split last summer as the Spanish World Cup winner ditched her for Clara Chia Marti, 23.
    The famous pair were together for 11 years and announced their split in June, before Shakira moved from Spain to Miami with her children.
    The footie star has come under fire after it was reported that he cheated on the singer, and that she rumbled his alleged affair thanks to a jar of strawberry jam.
    Rumours swirled that Shakira returned home from a period of travelling to find a jar of her strawberry jam had been eaten.
    It’s been claimed that Pique follows a strict diet and would not have tucked into the jam – and neither would her children.

    The She Wolf singer is then said to have come to the conclusion that someone else – more specifically another woman – had been in her home, and her fridge.
