After 5 years, it appears that Cristiano Ronaldo has called it quits from his model girlfriend Irina Shay. The reason is strange, apparently Irina refused to go to Ronaldo’s mom 60th birthday party. No one has confirmed the breakup, but Ronaldo was noticeably alone for New Year’s Eve.
The whispers are that Irina and Ronaldo’s mom, Delores Aveiro, were already at odds, and there were even some problems between Irina and Ronaldo’s sisters, Elma and Katia. Everyone knows that if his mom and sisters don’t approve, it usually means the relationship is destined to be doomed.
A source said: “Dolores wanted someone who would assume the role of mum for Cristiano Jr.
“That was not a priority for Irina.”
Irina stopped following Ronaldo on Twitter and wasn’t in attendance for the his Fifa Ballon d’Or ceremony in Zurich where he was awarded the best player in the world. In fact, Ronaldo’s acceptance speech for the award made no mention of Irina. Irina’s camp claims her prior obligations prevented her from attending the ceremony.
