Portuguese football player Cristiano Ronaldo will be single again after a break up with Russian model Irina Shayk.

Football's golden couple were together for five years and the couple reportedly split up when Shayk refused to attend a surprise birthday party for Ronaldo's mother in Madeira, Portugal.
Shayk was notably absent from the recent Ballon d'Or award ceremony where Ronaldo earned the title of world's best football player for the third time.
Less than a year ago, the Real Madrid footballer posed naked for a racy and intimate Vogue Spain cover with Shayk.
Before his relationship with Shayk, Ronaldo has dated English models Alice Goodwin and Gemma Atkinson.
Ronaldo has a four-year-old son to an unnamed American mother.
