For years, a version circulated pointing to Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother as the alleged reason for the end of his relationship with Irina Shayk. However, information published by HOLA explained that this account was denied by people close to the Russian model.
According to that version, Irina Shayk was the one who decided to end the relationship after an argument with Cristiano Ronaldo in Madrid, during New Year’s Eve. The breakup ended nearly 5 years of dating and occurred when both seemed to be one of the most stable couples in sports.
The statement cited by the magazine maintained that rumors about a conflict with Cristiano’s family were not a factor in the separation. The story circulated again because many people on social media continue repeating a simpler explanation that does not match that version.
