Cristiano Ronaldo turns 34: 3 relationships the superstar has been in and the trophies he has won during each
Cristiano Ronaldo, born on 5 February 1985, started his football career as a teenager at Sporting CP after recovering from a racing heart at the age of 15.
Not many would have expected Ronaldo to reach the peak of football given his physicality at that time. However, since the time he signed for Manchester United, Ronaldo found himself a footballing father, Sir Alex Ferguson, who guided him and helped him become the world's best player.
Ronaldo never looked back from there, and made his dream move to Real Madrid in 2009. In his 10-year stay at the Bernabéu, Ronaldo won four Ballon d'Or awards, four Champions League trophies, and became Real Madrid's all-time leading goal scorer.
In 2018, the Portuguese signed for Italian champions Juventus, aiming to win the UCL for the Old Lady.
Apart from his footballing ability, Ronaldo is a charmer off the field as well. His personality and style have won many hearts in the past. He is a fashion icon and followed by millions on social media.
As Ronaldo looks set to marry his present girlfriend, Georgina Rodríguez; let's take a look at the three women he has been in a relationship with over the years, and the trophies he has won during each phase.
#3 Merche Romero
Romero is a Portuguese model and TV presenter by profession. The two met during Ronaldo's time at Manchester United, and the relationship lasted from January 2005 to September 2006.
Ronaldo, who is nine years younger than Merche, never publicly accepted or denied their relationship until in 2006, Romero confirmed they weren't together anymore.
Career-wise, that period was disappointing for Ronaldo. Though United won the English League Cup in the 2005-06 campaign, they lost the FA Cup final to Arsenal. There was also the infamous red card incident in the World Cup involving Wayne Rooney which didn't go down well with the England fans.
