One of his exes recently dumped his now-girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez by suggesting she could have gone under the knife to resemble Kim Kardashian.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 37, has been in a relationship with Georgina, 28, for six years after they first met when she was assisting him at a Gucci store.
Thanks to the couple’s solid relationship, it’s easy to forget that Cristiano had a string of model girlfriends before her and was known as a kind of Lothario.

Prior to his romance with Georgina, with whom he has two children, Cristian dated Hollywood IT girls including Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian during his single years.
After his ex Nereida Gallardo reminisced about his past relationship history, we take a look back at Cristiano’s ex-girlfriends…
Jordan Jardel
Jordana, 40, was the first woman Cristiano was linked with when he made it big.
The Brazilian model is believed to be the striker’s first serious partner as a professional footballer in the early 2000s.

Cristiano was introduced to her by his Sporting Lisbon teammate Mario Jardel, who is Jordana’s brother.
The pair were linked in 2003 but never managed to bridge the distance.
Merch Romero
Cristiano’s next notable partner was Portuguese model Merche, with whom he was linked for more than a year between 2005 and 2006.

The TV presenter was his most prominent girlfriend during his early days at Manchester United during his glory days at Old Trafford.
However, due to the fact that Merche was based in Portugal, the couple struggled to maintain their romance due to the distance.
Imogen Thomas
Following his split from Merche, Cristiano enjoyed a string of dates with reality star Imogen Thomas.

Paris Hilton
Following her split from Doug Reinhardt, it was reported that the socialite and the recently deceased Manchester United star were enjoying their first romance flare-ups.
In 2009, the Portuguese winger celebrated the news that he had been snapped up by Real Madrid for the staggering sum of £80million by showing up in Los Angeles with the American party queen.
Ronaldo “hung out” with the hotel heiress and her younger sister, Nicky, at LA nightclub MyHouse until well into the wee hours.

The trio then continued the party at Nicky’s plush West Hollywood home.
Several celebrity websites in America claim that the couple kissed deeply.
A witness wrote: “[She was] hot and heavy making out with Cristiano at his table.’
Another reported: “They talked to each other and seemed extremely friendly.”
However, their fledgling romance never went further than a few nights and a few kisses.
Luanna Belletti
After being turned away by Paris, Cristiano was set up with Luanna in 2009 by her brother, Chelsea star Juliano Belletti.
Luanna, a fashion designer and stylist, was spotted getting close to the star on a romantic date.
Nereida Gallardo
Nereida, whose name has come to light in recent days thanks to her comments about Ronaldo’s girlfriend, has been enjoying a few dates with Ronaldo.
Nereida dated the soccer star for eight months in 2008 and now runs her own beauty salon in the Balearic Islands.

Earlier this month, the small business owner used her ex-boyfriend’s new partner as an example of a celebrity who could have gone under the knife – although Georgina has never publicly revealed if she’s had any cosmetic treatments.
Nereida hasn’t been particularly friendly to Cristiano in the past either, as she shared a story about him wearing red pants with an elephant’s trunk on the front.
Kim Kardashian
In 2010, before she tied it up with ex-husband Kanye West, Kim Kardashian was on Cristiano’s radar.
Cristiano was caught kissing then-29-year-old Kim during her low-key trip to Spain this week, according to sources.
The couple are said to have enjoyed a romantic dinner together during their three-day visit to Madrid.

Irina Shaik
Cristiano and Irina found love after modeling together in an Armani shoot in 2010.
They were together for five years, but Russian beauty Irina and Cristiano shocked fans around the world when they decided to end their relationship.
It was reported that Irina was “betrayed” by the heartthrob when she found out he had been secretly texting girls around the world.

According to The Sun, Irina told a source close to the couple: “Now I know the truth and I feel completely betrayed. I trusted him and stood up for him when there were rumors that he was dating other women. I feel stupid that Cristiano tricked me.’
Irina dated Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper, with whom she shares daughter Lea De Seine. The couple reportedly got back together recently.
Lucy Villalon
After his breakup with Irina, Ronaldo became associated with Spanish TV presenter Lucia.
Their romance didn’t last long and her family came out and denied the fact that they had ever enjoyed a romance.
