Cristiano Ronaldo’s Mother “Was the Straw That Broke the Camel’s Back” Leading to CR7 Calling It Quits With Supermodel Ex-Girlfriend Irina Shayk Back in 2015

Cristiano Ronaldo is a name that needs no introduction. The soccer star has been at the top of his game for many years and has become one of the biggest names in the world. He has had many high-profile relationships in the years since he blasted onto soccer’s biggest stage. Few were more high-profile than the one with his ex-supermodel girlfriend, Irina Shayk.

The couple started dating after crossing paths on the set of an Armani Exchange ad during their modeling campaigns, back in 2009. This marked the start of one of the most high-profile relationships. They were together for five years but in 2015, the couple announced their split that sent shockwaves across the world.

This left many wondering what the real reason behind the breakup was. It looks like the cause had much to do with Ronaldo’s mother, Dolores Aveiro.

Why did Cristiano Ronaldo breakup with Irina Shayk

Just four months after the breakup, the Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha shed some light on the reason. Sources close to Ronaldo spoke to the Portuguese newspaper as they talked about the reason for the split. According to them, things came to a head during the Christmas vacation when Ronaldo and Shayk were vacationing in Dubai with Ronaldo’s son.

The Portuguese striker wanted to head back to Portugal in order to surprise his mother and celebrate her birthday with her, while Sheyk refused to follow suit. This resulted in a major argument between the couple leading Ronaldo to spend New Year’s Eve alone with his son.

According to reports, “It was the straw that broke the camel’s back because they had hadn’t been getting on well in the last few months”. It was this event that prompted Ronaldo to end his relationship with Shayk. In conclusion, it appears as if Cristiano Ronaldo prioritized his family so highly that he was willing to end his long-committed relationship with the supermodel.

Since then both have moved their own ways. Irina Shayk is now dating Bradley Cooper and even has a kid with him. On the other hand, Ronaldo is in another high-profile relationship with Georgina Rodriguez since 2016.
