Ronaldo Ex-Flame Turned Down Fortune to Stay Silent

Gemma Atkinson disclosed that she was once offered a substantial amount of money to speak about her past relationship with football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. The pair had a short-lived romance in 2007, during Ronaldo's tenure with Manchester United. Atkinson, who lived locally due to her role in Hollyoaks, was a frequent topic of conversation.

Atkinson shared on Manchester's Key 103 radio that the offers to discuss their breakup were lucrative, but she chose not to accept them. She recalled Ronaldo attempting to woo her with tea and Only Fools And Horses episodes.

Currently, Gemma Atkinson is married to Gorka Marquez, and they have two children, Mia and Thiago. Cristiano Ronaldo is engaged to Georgina Rodríguez, and they share five children: Alana, Bella, twins Eva Maria and Mateo, and Cristiano Jr.

Georgina Rodríguez recently shared glimpses of their opulent lifestyle in Saudi Arabia, where Ronaldo now plays for Al-Nassr. He signed a contract worth £175 million a year after his departure from Manchester United, a move that reportedly concluded his career at the top level. Ronaldo's decision to play in Saudi Arabia has boosted his net worth significantly, with reports suggesting he earns around £300 a minute. The couple has faced scrutiny regarding Saudi Arabia's human rights record.
