Ronaldo's girlfriend denies rumours

Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend Irina Shayk has rejected suggestions that she is upset about the birth of the footballer's son.

The Real Madrid star confirmed at the weekend that he had become the exclusive guardian of a child he had with an unnamed woman.

According to the Daily Mail, a statement from Shayk's representatives read: "There have been rumours that have recently been publicised surrounding our client Irina Shayk's personal life and the birth of Cristiano Ronaldo's son.

"Any such statements allegedly made by Ms Shayk are false. Furthermore, any statements allegedly made by Ms Shayk regarding marriage at this time or wanting to have children at this time are also false, as recently printed by European tabloids."

It continued: "'She has not and will not in the future comment on such matters and believes her private life and that of her friends' are not material for gossip.

"It is unfortunate that individuals take it upon themselves to create fake fan pages and release false statements for any reason. For the time being, Ms Shayk has suspended her Twitter account in the wake of such rumours."

A friend of the 24-year-old model reportedly added: "She is at the end of her tether. She is sick and tired of it all and fed up with it hanging over her head.

"She is a private person and feels she is under siege. She just wants to carry on with her relationship with Ronaldo."
