Stripper, model, singer and Brazilian legend romancer

In 1994, Brazilian striker Romario was on top of the world: he was FIFA World Player of the Year, he won the World Cup and he finsihed the 1993/94 season as Barcelona’s top scorer. As one may expect of a footballer in his position, the Brazilian also did rather well with the ladies. He started a relationship with Sonia Monroy after admiring her work as a stripper, but they split soon after she claimed she was pregnant with his child.

Has Owen Hargreaves lit up an old flame?

Model and moped enthusiast Zabeena Harris has reportedly dumped perennially injured Manchester Utd star Owen Hargreaves in favour of Millwall’s Chris Hackett. Apparently, the split isn’t borne out of a desire to spend more time in Bermondsey, but because Hargreaves recently enjoyed “a secret date with a former sweetheart.”

After a bit of detective work, The Spoiler believes the former sweetheart is likely to have been ex-fiancée Janelle Khouri, the lovely lady with whom the midfielder lived when he was rockin’g some fierce Michael Ballack-style curtains at Bayern Munich.

Beckham isn’t the only one who’s unhappy with Diego Simeone

Earlier this year, 34-year-old model Carolina Baldini confirmed that she had separated from former Lazio midfielder and current San Lorenzo manager Diego Simeone. “We have not ceased to love each other, but we could not overcome the crisis,” she told an Argentinean newspaper. The “crisis” in question may have been Simeone’s decision to cheat on his wife with a 21-year-old Argentinean lingerie model named Julieta Spina.

Madrid’s Fernando Gago bags another famous Argentinean

Fernando ‘Lady’ Gago may have lost his Real Madrid squad number to some new Brazilian chap, but at least his luck on the lady front continues. Following romances with the lovely Luli Fernández and the even lovelier Pía Martinez, the Argentinean has started actress Micaela Vázquez. She is best known in South America for her roles in dismal-looking soap operas Chiquititas, Rebelde Way and Floricienta.

Now 22 years old, Micaela has been acting on television since the age of ten. She also has a bit-part in the film Crónica de una fuga (Chronicle of an escape), which by all accounts is pretty decent.

She supports Gago’s old club Boca Juniors, and also claims to enjoy handball.

With bikini wearing skills like this, who needs a surname?

The folks at German TV network ProSieben have devised an ingenious reality TV show that focuses solely on the spectacle of attractive under-dressed ladies. Called Sommermädchen (Summer Girls), the show pits 16 aspiring models against one another with the promise of an FHM cover shoot for the winner.

The Spoiler is rooting for Monique, the apparently-surname-less blonde who has been enjoying steamrollering sessions with Hertha BSC’s Fabian Lustenberger for the past seven months.

The First Lady of French football

Shortly after he guided the France to last place in Group C and a humiliating early exit from Euro 2008, national team manager Raymond Domenech performed a spectacularly mistimed marriage proposal live during a press conference. The focus of his request was Estelle Denis, the popular French sports TV presenter with whom he has two children.

Despite their lengthy relationship and shared offspring, the 32-year-old journalist said no. Ouch.

Beauty queen strikes up a partnership with Bolivian star

When they’re not smashing up the opposition on their crazy high altitude pitches, Bolivia’s football stars appear to enjoy romancing women who wear bikinis for a living.

Nowhere is this more clear than in the case of striker Marcelo Moreno, who has been linked to Miss Bolivia 2007 Jessica Jordan in the South American press. The on-loan Werder Bremen hitman, however, insists he is just friends with the 24-year-old beauty queen. Whatevs, Marcelo. 

Another of Adriano’s sexy (non transvestite) friends

As Fabiana Andrade, Veronica Araujo, Ellen Cardoso and Joana Machado ably demonstrate, Adriano keeps the company of a very certain type of lady. Dani Bolina is another beauty who fulfills all three of the Flamengo striker’s strict WAG criteria: she is Brazilian, she is a dancer and she is willing to discard her clothes if a lens is pointed at her.
