Michele Umezu: In 2002, Ronaldo had a brief stint with a Brazilian waitress named Michelle Umezu. Surprisingly, in December 2010, Michelle claimed that she had given birth to a son named Alexander and sought Ronaldo’s acknowledgment of paternity. Initially, the striker expressed doubts about the claim and, in an effort to establish the truth, decided to undergo a paternity test. The test results eventually confirmed that Alexander was his son. Soon after, he underwent a vasectomy, insisting having four children was enough.
Raica Oliveira: The relationship between the former Real Madrid striker and Raica Oliveira commenced in 2005 when they crossed paths at Sao Paulo Fashion Week. Their romantic journey, however, came to an end in September 2006. According to reports from the Brazilian press, the primary cause of their separation was attributed to Ronaldo’s infidelity, as he was reportedly involved with another woman while still in a relationship with Raica.
