#5 Are you gay?
Notoriously private away from the game, Ronaldo has never sought to deny the persistent rumours that he is gay.
He won’t reveal the name of the mother of his child, and with another expected to join his family at some point soon, he has already been quoted as saying that the same rule will apply. The continued mystery has led to suggestions that perhaps all is not what it seems.
It does beg the question as to why, if he is so keen to shield the women in his life, he’s more than happy to be seen in the company of men, some of whom it has been reported he travels to for ‘cuddles.’
Being photographed with a number of beautiful women and in alleged relationships with them has been seen as stage-managed by his agent, because Ronaldo is a confirmed advocate and supporter of gay marriage and his cryptic quote that, “I am at ease with my sexuality and it’s not a problem for me,” leaves more questions than answers.
Could it actually be that the joke is on us and Ronaldo is playing the media or is he gay? For the most famous footballer in the world to come out wouldn’t be a huge surprise if truth be told, but it would be seismic for the game if true and would represent a true watershed moment.
