- Ronaldo-Rodriguez relationship under scrutiny
- Reports claim they have drifted apart
- Ronaldo's mum shuts down rumours
WHAT HAPPENED? Spanish TV programme Socialite claimed Ronaldo was "fed up" with Rodriguez after the supermodel reportedly spent hours shopping in a Riyadh mall and that the pair may pursue separate paths soon. However, the model denied any rift and responded by stating "only idiots" believe gossip, in a post on social media. Ronaldo soon followed suit and posted another romantic picture with Rodriguez where the couple could be seen sharing a meal and a kiss along with the caption, "Cheers to love". And while inaugurating a shop in Madeira, Portugal, Aveiro further cleared the air and called those rumours "lies".

WHAT THEY SAID: "It’s all lies. “Every couple argues, but what’s been written is a lie," she stated.
