Few figures in the history of football command as much respect and have the aura of Brazilian Ronaldo.<\/p>\n
Ronaldo Luis Nazario de Lima arrived on the scene in the 1990s as a lightning quick, silky and clinical striker. O Fenomeno<\/i> won the World Cup with Brazil in 1994 without featuring but went on to play a starring role in the 1998 and 2002 editions, clinching his football-mad nation\u2019s fifth title in the latter.<\/p>\n
At club level, he started out at Cruzeiro before flying to Europe to play for PSV, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and AC Milan, winning the prestigious Ballon d\u2019Or award twice in the process. All the while, a wild and sex-loving off-field lifestyle went hand-in-hand with his mesmerising and high-profile playing career.<\/p>\n

Eyebrows were first raised when, having just netted twice in the 2002 World Cup final against Germany, he was asked whether clinching the Jules Rimet trophy was better than sex. Many would have laughed off the question, but the Itagui-born star offered a remarkable response only he would think to share.<\/p>\n
Sporting a cheeky grin on his gap-toothed face, he replied: "Both are very hard to go without, but I don't think sex could ever be as rewarding as winning the World Cup. It's not that sex is not great; just that the World Cup is only every four years and sex is a lot more regular than that."<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t the last time Ronaldo would highlight his passion for a bit of rumpy pumpy, telling a Brazilian TV station in 2011 during his time at Corinthians that he was partial to a quick bonk before football matches. To help him focus, of course.<\/p>\n

"I have had sex several times before some games," he revealed. "It helps you concentrate. Not all the coaches let you have sex before a match though. I have noticed that in some games, I played better because I had sex before them."<\/p>\n
But the Galactico\u2019s raunchy endeavours were not always without consequence, having landed himself in hot water during his spell at AC Milan. In April 2008, the staggeringly gifted forward underwent some rehab in Rio de Janeiro following a constant run of injuries.<\/p>\n
There, the then 31-year-old sought to alleviate some stress by dropping off at-the-time fiance Maria Beatriz Antony home before picking up three prostitutes from a nightclub in the trendy Barra da Tijuca district. Much to our Brazilian hero\u2019s surprise, after bringing them to his motel room, he discovered the trio were cross-dressing men, which resulted in a fracas between them.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
It didn\u2019t take long for Brazilian media to find out about the stunning episode, as it was revealed Ronaldo had offered each of the prostitutes a \u00a3300 pay-out as they attempted to extort money from him. Rio police reported Ronaldo's allegations at the time, whilst local press quoted one of the three, Andreia Abertine, also known as Andre Luiz Ribeiro Albertino, claiming Ronaldo had threatened to hit him.<\/p>\n
According to Rio police superintendent Carlos Augusto Nogueira, Ronaldo "reported that Andreia had taken his car documents and demanded $30,000 [\u00a315,000]". He added: "Ronaldo admits the facts. He said he just wanted to amuse himself, that's not a crime. To pay to have sexual relations isn't illegal. There's a strong chance that Ronaldo has been the victim of extortion."<\/p>\n
Stunning girlfriend Maria decided enough was enough and broke up with him, before the pair got back together and split up for good in 2012. Unsurprisingly, Ronaldo\u2019s dating history includes a long list of gorgeous models who were caught up in his glamorous lifestyle.<\/p>\n

He married Brazilian footballer Milene Domingues in 1999, though the couple divorced four years later. In 2005, he became engaged to Brazilian model and MTV journalist Daniela Cicarelli. <\/p>\n
The pair were unable to officially marry due to Ronaldo having not been divorced for a full year yet. That didn\u2019t stop them from hosting a lavish wedding at a French castle which cost an estimated \u00a3700,000, before parting ways just three months later.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In the many years since hanging up his boots, Ronaldo\u2019s off-field frolicking has subsided, with the 47-year-old settling down with model Celina Locks, 33. The loved-up couple, who started dating in 2015, tied the knot in a church in the small village of es Cubells, Ibiza, on Monday 25 September, 2023.<\/p>\n
They both wore cream-coloured outfits while former team-mates, such as compatriot Julio Baptista, turned out for the Real Valladolid president\u2019s big day. Locks marries father of four Ronaldo, who had his first child, Ronald, 23, with his first wife, and two daughters – Maria Sofia, 14, and Maria Alice, 12 – with Maria Beatriz Antony. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
His youngest son Alexander was born after a fling with Brazilian waitress Michele Umezu, who he first met in Tokyo at the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the latest insight into Ronaldo\u2019s sex-loving lifestyle came in 2010, when he told reporters he underwent a vasectomy to "close the factory" because four children was enough, indicating he was still very much active in that department.<\/p>\n
And in an interview with the Financial Times in 2019, Ronaldo revealed he could still have more children because he had frozen some of his sperm. "I still have some on ice," he said. "Enough to make a football team."<\/p>\n
