Yet another former lover of Real Madrid’s latest acquisition

After more than a year of tiring speculation, Cristiano Ronaldo has finally secured his escape route to Madrid. In honour his much-touted departure, we pay tribute to one of the lucky ladies who played a part in C-Ron’s highly prolific Summer of Steamrollering 2008^TM.

In addition to Nereida Gallardo, Niki Ghazian and Letizia Filippi, the Portuguese star took his mind off of his incredibly charmed life by boffing Colombian model Mirella Grisales.

Alright, not really swimming, more voguing

It’s hard to know where you stand with Ronaldo. When Nereida Gallardo came along, everyone assumed she was just another one of his fleeting sex partners, she wouldn’t last. And yet, she did, clocking up quite a few weeks of sprawling on his satin sheets as he tirelessly insisted that they have constant energetic intercourse. Hence, we’re not entirely sure whether Letizia Filippi is one for the future, or whether the tanned winger has already tired of her after a short-lived, but no doubt sensual, love affair.

Either way, above is a picture of her lounging about near a swimming pool in Italy, and, should you wish to have a look, there’s another picture after the break.

Here’s the (rather good) reason C-Ron left Nereida

Cristiano Ronaldo’s non-prostitute-based romantic history is peppered with lovely-brunette-model-types - Gemma Atkinson (who was brunette at the time), Mia Judaken, Karina Ferro, and most recently Nereida Gallardo - and he has just added one more to his little black book.

Her name is Letizia Filippi, and she is a 30-year-old model (seven years his senior) and TV personality from Foligno, Italy. The pair met at a yacht party during one of Ronaldo’s numerous holidays this summer, and the Manchester Utd star has since sent her flowers and had dinner with her. One Italian newspaper claimed Letizia stole his attention with a ‘gaze that melted him like an icicle in the sun’. How nice for him.
