I once dated Cristiano Ronaldo and when we broke up I lost 11m Instagram followers in 24 hours

CRISTIANO RONALDO has plenty of ex-girlfriends.

But one lost 11 MILLION Instagram followers in just 24 hours after they split.

Supermodel Irina Shayk, 37, and Al-Nassr star Ronaldo, 38, dated between 2010 and 2015.

The Russian stunner met Ronnie when he had just left Manchester United for Real Madrid in 2009.

But they took their time and didn’t start going out for another year.

The pair stayed together for five years after becoming football’s No1 couple.

However, things came to a end in 2015 over an alleged disagreement about starting a family together.

Further reports claim Irina refused to go to the birthday party of Ronaldo’s beloved mother.

This was denied by Irina, who said via a representative: “She has been close with his family throughout the course of their relationship. 

“Any negative rumours with regards to Irina and the Ronaldo family are completely false, and have not been a factor in the cause of the spilt. Irina has no further comment at the time.”

Shortly after breaking up with Ronaldo, Irina began dating Hollywood superstar Bradley Cooper.

And in 2016 Ronaldo met now-partner Georgina Rodriguez.

That same year, Irina told her fans on Instagram to unfollow if they “only know her as Cristiano Ronaldo’s ex-girlfriend.”

This amazingly saw Irina’s followers drop by 11m in just 24 hours — a loss of 75 per cent of her subs.

Fast forward to 2023 and Irina now has 21m people following her on Instagram.

But her ex Ronaldo is miles ahead with 564m followers — more than any other user on the social media platform.

Irina is now said to be single after splitting from Cooper in 2019.

However, reports in November claimed the pair could be back together after being spotted with each other on several occasions.
