"We ended up at his house and had a few glasses of champagne" - TV host Alyson Eckmann explains details of her relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo
American TV and radio host Alyson Eckmann has uploaded a video on TikTok where she recalled the time Manchester United superstar Cristiano Ronaldo invited her to his house.
Speaking about the incident, the former winner of Big Brother VIP said (via Marca):
"I hosted Cristiano Ronaldo's event for his new perfume. Then we became friends at the party and Cristiano invited me to his house. I told him no, no way, because I had to work the next day. I knew what would happen if I went to his house.
"And my friend, who was there with me, said: 'Aly, you can't say no, please'. I said to Cristiano: 'You have to send a driver to take me to my house when I say'. And he said: 'Ok, yes'.
"We left the party, we split up. My friend went with him, I went with his manager. We ended up at his house and had a few glasses of champagne and then, at about three in the morning, I told him I wanted to go home and he sent me with his driver. And that was it.

Eckmann also revealed that they exchanged numbers and texted for close to a month:
"When we left his house, he asked for my number and we texted each other for a month, but it was very simple: 'Hello how are you. What are you doing? I'm working. I'm at my house'.
"And that's where it stayed. I think he wanted me to invite myself to his house, but I don't go around f****** celebrities for the sake of f****** celebrities."
Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo has been in a steady relationship with partner Georgina Rodriguez for some years now. The Portuguese superstar was seen enjoying a well-deserved vacation with Georgina and his family at Mallorca earlier this month.
