Sports accounts and pages on social media published statements attributed to Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, Manchester United striker, about the reason for his separation from his ex-girlfriend, Irina Shayk.
Ronaldo says - according to the statements circulated - "I do not regret my separation from Irina Shayk, she used to say to me: Why do you always bring your mother with you on every occasion, this bothers me and you have to choose between us? .. So I chose my mother."
According to research conducted by the "Sanad" Agency for Monitoring and Verification of News of the Al-Jazeera network, these statements were translated from a number of foreign pages as well, which they dealt with in the same context.
By researching the extent of its truth, it turned out to be completely false and baseless, as Ronaldo did not explicitly mention this through his accounts on the communication sites or in any video interview.
Press reports have dealt with the issue of Ronaldo's separation from the Russian model in the past years, and some of them have already attributed the reason to his preference for his mother, who did not see her as a good mother for his son Ronaldo Jr., but the Portuguese star has not denied or confirmed these reports so far.
