Ronaldo is back on the market (gallery)

In a statement released to the Associated Press, soccer sensation and international heartthrob Cristiano Ronaldo confirmed his split from girlfriend of five years, Irina Shayk. We look at some of his best magazine covers.


“After dating for five years, my relationship with Irina Shayk has come to an end,” wrote Ronaldo.

“We believed it would be best for both of us to take this step now.”

“I wish Irina the greatest happiness.”

But brace yourselves, ladies, if the number of posts flying around Twitter are anything to go by, competition to capture his heart will be fierce.

And, of course, the rumour mill is already swirling with allegations of new romances for both Ronaldo and Shayk with Sports WAGS tweeting a picture of Lucia Villalon, Cristiano Ronaldo’s rumoured new girlfriend.

A word to the wise – if it’s Ronaldo you’re after you’d better be prepared to be the second most important person in his life. We know his son holds the number one spot.
