Cristiano Ronaldo was once rumored to be dating Kim Kardashian back in 2010. The rumors started when both the celebs were seen together in Madrid. Ronaldo, at the time, was one of the highest-paid soccer players. His transfer to Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2009 was the then-highest in the history of soccer.

On the other hand, Kim Kardashian was rising to fame in those days. Kardashian, at the time, went on the record to tell more about their relationship when rumors were at the peak.

Kim Kardashian denied all rumors of dating Cristiano Ronaldo

Kim Kardashian appeared on a radio show when she got a question from the host regarding the rumors. She discussed their relationship and said that they are good friends. Although, while answering the question of whether she kissed Ronaldo, she was cheeky in her response.

When the interviewer asked whether they were dating, she quickly replied, “We are friends.” It was the next question where Kardashian got cheeky in her reply. When asked whether she had thought about kissing Ronaldo, Kardashian said, “Thought about a lot of things (smiles). No, I am just kidding.”

The on-air interview ended all the speculations about their rumored relationship. Kardashian then dated and married Kanye West and had four children. Ronaldo is in a relationship with Georgina Rodriguez currently. Both have enjoyed huge success professionally since the rumors first grabbed the headlines.
