Paris Hilton reflects on Ronaldo fling

Paris Hilton has claimed that she dumped Cristiano Ronaldo because she did not want to be a WAG.

The socialite was romantically linked to Ronaldo last month after they met at a Los Angeles nightclub and spent a night together at the home of Hilton's sister Nicky.

Hilton later attempted to play down rumours of a romance with the Portuguese footballer, describing him as "just a friend".

In a new interview with The People, the star explained: "I didn't want to start dating Ronaldo because I've got no intention of ending up becoming some kind of footballer's wife.

"People were saying we were the new Posh and Becks - in fact that's what people said I was going around saying - but it's not true. Posh and Becks are a beautiful and amazing couple but I would not want to be just a footballer's wife."

She added: "Posh has managed to do so much more than just be classed as Becks's woman. But some girls just become known for being a footballer's girl. I wouldn't ever want to be pigeonholed like that."

Hilton's alleged fling with Ronaldo came just hours after her split from TV personality Doug Reinhardt.
