Ronaldo 'paid baby's mother £10m'

Cristiano Ronaldo allegedly paid the mother of his child £10 million on Monday to remain silent and give him full custody of the boy.

The Real Madrid footballer revealed at the weekend that he had become the father to a child who would be under his "exclusive guardianship".

An unnamed source told The Sun that the mother is a "party girl" who Ronaldo would not "settle down" with, prompting him to pay her the sum.

They said: "He paid nearly a year's wages but it's more than worth it. He's called it the most expensive day of his life, but at least he has sole custody."

The child is believed to be with Ronaldo's family in the Algarve, Portugal. The 25-year-old is said to want his mother Dolores and sister to help him raise his son.
