Who the soccer star dated before Rodriguez

Before Rodriguez, Ronaldo dated quite a few other beautiful and even famous women.

One of his most high-profile relationships was with Irina Shayk. He and the Russian supermodel were together for four years but their relationship reportedly ended due to infidelity on Ronaldo’s part.

A source told The Sun that Shayk dumped him and said: “Now I know the truth and I feel completely betrayed. I trusted him and stuck up for him when there were rumors he had been with other women. I feel stupid that Cristiano has fooled me.”

There were also reports that he had brief flings with Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian.
