Who Is Cristiano Ronaldo's Baby Mama?

By Simone Hilliard

Models, musicians, actresses, reality starlets, and socialites worldwide would lie in front of bus to hook up with the super sexy Cristiano Ronaldo, so it came as a total surprise to hear the soccer star recently welcomed a son conceived by a surrogate!

Despite conflicting reports that the pregnancy was the result of a fling, Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias says Ronaldo's baby boy was conceived with the help of a surrogate at the end of last summer, according to the Daily Mail.  

The footballer reportedly learned of his son’s June 17 birth while competing in the World Cup and flew to meet the baby, following Portugal’s elimination.

Ronaldo, 25, took to his Facebook account on Saturday (July 3) to announce the news:

"It is with great joy and emotion that I inform I have recently become father to a baby boy. As agreed with the baby’s mother, who prefers to have her identity kept confidential, my son will be under my exclusive guardianship."

A spokesman for Ronaldo's management company confirmed he had become a father, but refused to comment on the surrogacy claims. While the unidentified mother remains out of the picture, one woman who continues to be a presence is Cristiano's model girlfriend Irina Shayk. 

Though reports claimed Shayk, 24, was devastated to learn about the child, her rep denies any such friction between the duo. "They're trying to create a relationship," the spokesman said.
