Mum: Ronaldo had only 2 girlfriends

Cristiano Ronaldo's mother has come out on the side of her son after he was played up by the media as a womaniser. He is always being linked to one girl or another (most recently with this Manchester student), but his mum insists that he has never done anything more than kiss them.

Proud Dolores Aveiro, 54, said: “My son has only introduced two girlfriends to me – Merche Romero and Nereida Gallardo.

“If I believed what other people say, he has been with more than 100 and he is a womaniser.

“But I know that it is not true. When he likes a girl and the relationship is serious, he presents her to his family.”
