Cristiano Ronaldo tells friends that he still loves ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk
The Real Madrid star, currently dating Spaniard Georgina Rodriguez, says model's 'the one that got away'
CRISTIANO RONALDO has told pals he still loves ex Irina Shayk, saying: “She’s the one that got away.”
The pair met in 2010 but model Irina, 32, called time on the relationship three years ago.
A pal said: “Ronaldo is holding a torch for her.
“He regrets the way they ended and still takes an interest in her life.”
The Real Madrid star, 33, believes he and Irina split because she wanted a baby.
He already had son Cristiano Jnr and was focused on football.
The pal said: “He never thought Irina would ever actually leave.”
She now has a daughter with actor Bradley Cooper.
Ronaldo’s pal added: “He’s jealous of the relationship.”
The Real Madrid star has been dating Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez, 23, since November 2016.
Georgina gave birth to Ronaldo's daughter Alana Martina in November.
Baby Alana Martina joined Cristiano Jnr, seven, and ten-month-old twins Eva and Mateo in the Ronaldo clan.
And if Ronaldo has his way, there will be three more kids on the way.
The former Manchester United ace said: "I want to have seven children and as many Ballons d’Or."
