One of his ex-girlfriends recently dragged his current girl Georgina Rodriguez by suggesting she could have gone under the knife to resemble Kim Kardashian.
Cristiano Ronaldo, 38, has been in a relationship with Georgina, 29, for six years after they first met when she famously assisted him in a Gucci store.
Thanks to the couple’s solid relationship, it is easy to forget that Cristiano had a string of model girlfriend’s before her, and was known as somewhat of a lothario.

Prior to his romance with Georgina, who he has two children with, Cristian dated Hollywood IT girls including Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian during his single years.
Following the reminder from his ex Nereida Gallardo about his past dating history, we take a look back at Cristiano’s ex-girlfriends…
Jordana Jardel
Jordana, 40, was the first woman Cristiano was linked to when he hit the big time.
The Brazilian model is thought to be the striker’s first serious partner as a professional footballer in the early noughties.
