Cristiano Ronaldo’s Spanish ex-girlfriend Nereida Gallardo has revealed that a British teenager is the mother of Real Madrid footballer’s son. Gallardo, who went out with the soccer ace for eight months, made the sensational claim during a live interview on Spanish TV.
Gallardo, 27, did not reveal the mystery girl’s name but said she contacted her by Facebook asking how to get in touch with the star when she found out she was pregnant.
“She told me she is a student from London. She is now living in the US,” the Daily Star quoted her as telling on the show. “I cannot say 100 per cent what she told me is true, but she did contact me several months before it became public knowledge that Cristiano was a dad,” she added.
Nereida added that it would not surprise her if Ronaldo had become a father following a one-night stand because he never liked to use condoms. The girl apparently told Nereida she had signed a confidentiality contract in which she agreed never to reveal she was mum to Ronaldo’s son.
But she did not say how much she was paid for her silence. There has been speculation she pocketed 10 million pounds after handing custody to the Portuguese international. A spokeswoman for Ronaldo declined to comment on Gallardo’s claims.
