While Cristiano tends to keep his private life out of the spotlight, the footballer and his new girlfriend were spotted on a ski break in January. The couple, who are both based in Madrid, enjoyed some downtime at the Navacerrada resort on the outskirts of the city. They walked the red carpet last month, attending the FIFA Football Awards where Cristiano was presented with the Best FIFA Men's Player Award. The photogenic couple posed up a storm at the event, alongside Cristiano's adorable son.

Is Cristiano about to become a dad for the second time?

While Cristiano often shares photos of his mini-me son, the notoriously private star has remained tight-lipped about the identity of his mother's son. It's not known whether he still has a relationship with her, but what is clear is that Cristiano shares an extremely close bond with his son.
