Cristiano Ronaldo is a global icon and his private life is something the soccer star is very open about. Back in 2010, it was reported that Ronaldo was dating Victoria’s Secret model, Irina Shayk.
It was a much-publicized relationship with Ronaldo at that time before they parted ways in 2015; it was also reported they were even engaged back in 2011, However, that did not turn out to be true. In 2023, reports came out that Irina Shayk was dating NFL legend Tom Brady. And, Ronaldo is still in a relationship with Georgina Rodriguez. However, Irina and Brady parted ways due to differences in interests after briefly dating in 2023.

So why did CR7 break up with the supermodel? Online reports revealed that Ronaldo Irina Shayk didn’t attend the surprise birthday party for Ronaldo’s mother, Dolores, which was very disrespectful in the eyes of the soccer star.
However, later on, Irina clarified that it wasn’t the case and even hinted that Ronaldo had cheated on her, while speaking to the Spanish magazine Hola she said, “You have to be faithful to your other half and not have secrets. That’s my rule.”
Back in 2015, many other reasons popped up, but neither Ronaldo nor Shayk have made further comments regarding their relationship and moved on with their lives. However, they were a stunning couple, and in 2014 they were named the hottest football couple.
Irina Shayk lost 11 million Instagram followers thanks to Ronaldo
Soon after the breakup in 2015, Ronaldo fans blamed Shayk and even made some comments, saying that she became evident only because of the Portuguese. So in 2016, she posted on Instagram, saying if her followers knew her only because of Cristiano, they should unfollow her immediately.
This was a shot in the foot for the model as within 24 hours of the post, she had lost a total of 11 million followers which accounted for almost 75% of her total following. This incident only further proved the amount of influence Ronaldo has and also why he is the most followed person on Instagram with 600 million.

After this incident, she went on to date Hollywood star Bradley Cooper and had a daughter named Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper. Irina had a few rumored flings with people such as Leonardo Di Caprio, Kanye West, etc. but she has been currently seen with Tom Brady.
Is Cristiano Ronaldo married to Georgina Rodriguez?
The burning question in everyone’s mind is whether or not Cristiano Ronaldo is married. The current Al Nassr captain has been with Argentine model Georgina Rodriguez since 2016 and is the mother of four of Ronaldo’s five children. Even though she has only given birth to two of them, it doesn’t make her any less of a mother.
When Ronaldo’s move to Saudi Arabia was announced, it was to be seen whether the Portuguese would marry his long-term girlfriend due to the country’s strict policies, as it is illegal to live under the same roof without getting married. But that doesn’t seem to be the case, as per some high-ranking lawyers who have said Ronaldo doesn’t fall under these regulations due to him being a foreigner.

Though some reports suggest that the couple might split up, that doesn’t look like the case, as Ronaldo himself has addressed his claims of marriage and confirmed that he intends to marry Georgina after all, a date is not fixed.
Even when Georgina was asked whether she would like to marry Ronaldo, she replied by saying, “Of course, I would.” Ronaldo’s mother has also called Rodriguez her future daughter-in-law on several occasions.
It is very much possible that the five-time Champions League winner might just tie the knot after retiring from the beautiful game and their marriage is just a mere matter of time.
