Every One Of Cristiano Ronaldo’s Girlfriends Over The Years

Cristiano Ronaldo has the world at his feet when it comes to soccer. But he scores pretty well off the field, too. The sports star has dated more than his fair share of notable names. From models and actresses to fashion designers, here’s the spectacular line-up that makes up red-hot Ronaldo’s dating history. And did someone say Paris Hilton?

1. Karina Ferro (rumored)

We begin in 2002 when Ronaldo apparently dated Ferro, a model from his native Portugal. This dates back to before he became a global success, so it can be seen as one of his earliest, if not the earliest, relationship of the young man’s life. They reportedly didn’t have a long-term thing, though photos exist to show they were at least probably an item.

2. Jordana Jardel

Hailing from Brazil, Jardel made headlines as Ronaldo’s partner back in 2003. She’s described as his first relationship as a pro player, though their time together was reportedly brief. Jordana is the sister of Mario Jardel, who kicked his way to glory alongside Ronaldo at Sporting Lisbon (or Sporting CP). This isn’t the only time Ronaldo has dated a friend’s sister, as we’ll discover.

3. Merche Romero

It might not surprise you to learn that Ronaldo’s next prominent relationship was with another model. From 2005 to 2006, he stepped out with Romero. Romero is also a TV host and, like Ronaldo, comes from Portugal. Despite being reportedly close for a lengthy period, the match came to an end. Just why did this photogenic couple throw in the towel?

Putting the Man in Manchester

At the time he was based at Old Trafford, playing for Manchester United. It appears all the traveling back and forth took its toll. While Romero became Ronaldo’s longest relationship during his period at the famous U.K. club, ultimately they broke up when the distance apparently interfered with their happiness. Many celebrity unions have ended this way: it seems as though Ronaldo is no different.
