British media personality Gemma Atkinson has revealed she was once offered a substantial sum of money to criticise former partner Cristiano Ronaldo following the end of their brief romance in 2007.

Speaking to Key 103 Radio, as reported by Transfer News Live, Atkinson said she declined the offer because she had nothing negative to say about the football star.

“When we broke up, I was offered a lot of money to speak badly about him, and I didn’t want it because I had nothing negative to say about him, so I see no reason to speak ill of him,” she said.

Atkinson and Ronaldo made headlines nearly two decades ago when they were seen together during his time at Manchester United. However, the relationship ended in October 2007.

The former soap actress is now married to Gorka Márquez, and the couple share two children, Mia and Thiago.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, is engaged to Georgina Rodríguez. Together, they have daughters Alana and Bella, and also welcomed twins Eva Maria and Mateo via surrogacy. The couple previously shared a son, Angel, who passed away shortly after birth. Ronaldo also has a son, Cristiano Jr., from a previous relationship.

Rodríguez and Ronaldo first met in 2016 when she was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid.
