GIRLFRIENDS OF CRISTIANO RONALDO
Due to his superstardom both on and off the football pitch, the personal life of Cristiano Ronaldo has inevitably come under intense scrutiny ever since the then-16 year-old-year joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in 2003. Below, we have put together a list of the women the Portuguese star has been linked to during the course of his professional career.
Karina Ferro
When: 2002
Ferro is a stunning Portuguese model and was the first lady to be linked with Ronaldo when he turned pro; the pair reportedly dated in 2002.
Jordana Jardel
When: 2003
Ronaldo was introduced to Brazilian model Jordana by her brother, and his teammate at Sporting Lisbon, Mario Jardel. According to rumors, Ronaldo and Jordana dated in 2003 for a few months when the pair both lived in Greater Manchester.
Merche Romero
When: January 2005 – September 2006
Rather unsurprisingly, Merche is also a model. Rather surprisingly, however, is the fact that Ronaldo is nine years younger than her.
Soraia Chaves
When: 2006
Soraia is a model and actress who works in Portugal. She had a role in the movie Call Girl. The two dated for a short while.
Mia Judaken
When: March 2006
American socialite Mia was 18 at the time that she was linked with Ronaldo and denies ever having romantic ties with him despite rumours of a fling between the pair, who were also close friends.
Gemma Storey
When: September 2007
When Ronaldo had a fling with Storey, he was apparently unaware that she might be an escort or adult film star. The two purportedly hooked up while he was part of Manchester United and engaged in an orgy in a pool with four other women. Ronaldo was subsequently fined £2,940 as a result of the incident.
Gemma Atkinson
When: January 2007
Ronaldo started dating British model and actress Atkinson in January 2007. The relationship was short and Ronaldo denies that it ever amounted to anything serious.
Atkinson spoke about how great the relationship was but it appears that she was looking for attention as Ronaldo’s mother herself played down suggestions that anything serious happened between the two.
Bipasha Basu
When: 2007
In 2007, when Ronaldo rose to stardom and was already regarded as one of the world’s best players, he publicly kissed Indian actress Bipasha Basu, who was in a relationship with Indian actor John Abraham at the time.
Paris Hilton
When: June 2009
Perhaps one of the most famous women that Ronaldo dated was American socialite and singer Paris Hilton, who he dated in 2009. This was after she had broken up with Doug Reinhardt and lasted for a short time, with the pair refusing to give an official statement on what happened.
Kim Kardashian
When: 2010
Another popular name with whom Ronaldo has been linked is Kim Kardashian. The two were seen spotted partying it up in Madrid, although both have not said anything publicly on their friendship.
Irina Shayk
When: 2010-2015
One of Ronaldo’s longest and most-talked-about relationships was with Russian model Irina Shayk. There were even reports suggesting that the two would get married.
Georgina Rodriguez
When: November 2016-Present
Ronaldo and Rodriguez were first seen together in public in November 2016. She has a wonderful relationship with Ronaldo’s eldest son Cristiano Jr, and also reportedly gets on well with his twins, that were born via surrogate in 2017.
In November 2017, Rodriguez gave birth to Ronaldo’s fourth child and the couple’s first together, a daughter named Alana Martina Ronaldo.
At the moment, it looks like she could finally be the woman who has managed to win over the heart of CR7.
