Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk: A Glamorous Love Story Comes to an End
As reported by Africa Top Sports.com, Cristiano Ronaldo may have celebrated his third Ballon d’Or title with the world, but privately, he appeared subdued—his long-term partner, Irina Shayk, was notably absent from the glittering ceremony.
The last time the couple was seen together was at the Los Premios gala in Madrid on October 27, 2014. Since then, rumors had been swirling about tensions behind the scenes, and now, the Portuguese press claims to have uncovered the reason behind their split.
According to Correio Da Manha, the relationship reportedly collapsed over family disagreements. The Russian model allegedly refused to attend a surprise birthday party organized by Ronaldo for his mother, Dolores Aveiro. This incident is said to have caused a serious rift between Irina and the Ronaldo family.
The Portuguese newspaper went further, stating:
“Irina attacked Dolores, and Cristiano chose his mother.”
While neither party has officially commented in detail, sources close to the couple suggest that family dynamics played a decisive role in the breakup. CR7, known for his deep bond with his mother, may have found himself forced to choose between the two most important women in his life.
As for Irina Shayk, her representatives have confirmed the split, citing a desire for privacy and mutual respect. For now, Ronaldo remains focused on his professional goals—and recovering from a personal loss that clearly meant a lot.
