      Sanz, who is in Maspalomas, Gran Canaria for an advertisement shoot, according to El Español, posted a series of snaps on Instagram.
      In one of them she shared a photo of herself holding a coffee as she is surrounded by makeup tools.
      The model testified in court earlier this month that her ex-husband “smelled of alcohol” and “he bumped into several pieces of furniture and collapsed on the bed” when he arrived home the night of December 30.
      This morning the ex-Barcelona star, 40, was sentenced to four and a half years in prison for raping a woman in the toilets of the nightclub Sutton in Barcelona.

      He was also ordered to pay the victim £130,000 (150,000 euros) and to stay away from her for nine-and-a-half years.
      The court said in a statement: “The sentence considers that it has been proven that the victim did not consent and that there is evidence, in addition to the testimony of the plaintiff, to consider the rape proven.”
      State prosecutors were seeking nine years while the lawyers representing Alves’s accuser wanted 12 years.
      Alves, who has been held in pre-trial detention since his arrest last year, was then transferred back to Brians 2 prison.

      Speaking outside the court, Alves’s lawyer Inés Guardiola said they were planning to appeal the sentence.
      She told reporters:” Four and a half years is much better than 9 and 12 that the accusation requested, but we are going to appeal because I still believe in Mr. Alves’ innocence. 
      Dani Alves’ model ex Joana Sanz arrives at court to reveal what ‘drunk’ ex-Barcelona star told her moments after ‘rape’
      “We are going to review the sentence, but I can tell you that we are going to appeal.
      “We continue to believe in the innocence of Mr. Alves. He already knows the sentence and is whole.
      “We will defend his innocence to the end.”
      Alves had appeared before court two weeks ago and denied the allegations insisting the encounter had been consensual. 
      He denied any wrongdoing, telling his defence lawyer that he is “not that type of man”.
      The three-day trial at Barcelona’s Audiencia Provincial Court saw the victim, witnesses and experts testifying.
      His accuser told the prosecution that she had willingly entered the bathroom with him, but that he forced her to stay after she wanted to leave.
      During the first day of the footballer’s trial, a friend and cousin of his accuser claimed he also groped them in the VIP area.
      The two women claim he then invited their friend, the alleged rape victim, to follow him through a separate door after flirting with her.
      The dad-of-two has made repeated bail requests but they have all been turned down, with judges saying his alleged victim’s version of events was coherent and pointing out Alves had changed his story several times as the evidence authorities have against him has emerged.
      He was sacked by Mexican side UNAM Pumas following his arrest after he flew back to Barcelona to attend his mother-in-law’s funeral.

      Cristiano Ronaldo’s son shows off incredible six-pack… but fans can’t stop staring at his dad’s toes

      by

      CRISTIANO RONALDO showed off his son’s incredible six-pack – but fans were more interested in the football legend’s toes.The five-time Ballon d’Or winner shared a picture of him working out in the gym with Cristiano Jr on social media on Thursday.
      Ronaldo showed off his abs with his son
      Fans however spotted his black toenails
      Fans saw two photos of Ronaldo topless and sockless standing next to his son, with the pair both showing off their abs.
      The former Manchester United and Real Madrid ace captioned the post: “Today with my partner ❤️.”
      Reacting to the photos, one follower replied: “The King and the prince 👑.”
      But most of his fans were more taken by why the Al-Nassr star’s toenails were black.

      One eagled-eye fan said: “Black nails? Wtf dude.”
      While another added: “What’s wrong with ur toe. It’s black.”
      A third responded: “CR having black nail polish 👀😂.”
      And a fourth decided to explain the reason for the black toes: “If anyone was wondering why Ronaldo has nail polish, it’s because black nail polish allows nails to be more resistant in general.”

      The protective layer is supposedly the reason behind the Portuguese legend painting his toenails.
      According to a source via German outlet Bild, athletes paint their nails or cover them with a protective layer to protect them from fungi and bacteria.
      GRAPHIC-VIDEO-RONALDO-CAR-COLLECTION
      BILD said: “Many top athletes do this to protect their nails from fungi and bacteria when they are stuck in sweaty shoes for hours. Even Mike Tyson.”
      It’s claimed it helps prevent toenails from cracking or splitting up.
      A layer of nail polish hardens the toenail, which minimises the danger of the nail being damaged when competing.
      Meanwhile, Cristiano Jr has laid bare his intention to play with his dad after sealing a transfer to Al-Nassr in October.
      The 13-year-old has big shoes to fill if he wants to reach his dad’s legendary level, but appears to be on the right track.
      Ronaldo signed for the Saudi Pro League outfit last January and has been on fire in the league ever since. More

      Georgina recently had her curvaceous bum censored — by the hardline Iranian regime.
      Her rounded buttocks were digitally altered to look as flat as a pancake in a family snap with Ronaldo and their kids.
      She was pictured in a figure-hugging black dress during Ronaldo’s 39th birthday celebrations.
      But there was no sign of her protruding posterior when the image was printed by the Iranian regime’s Hamshahri newspaper.
      READ MORE ON GEORGINA
      The model, 30, likes to show off her rear on social media.
      But since moving with Ronaldo to Saudi Arabia, she has followed Muslim custom and kept covered up.
      Women in Iran have to wear a veil and loose-fitting clothes which cover all but the hands and face — or face up to ten years in jail.
      Although Georgina is known to loosen up when out of the country, like when she took a holiday to the Maldives.
