Cristiano Ronaldo ‘dating married woman’

Manchester United footballer smitten with Alyona Haynes

Cristiano Ronaldo previously dated Gemma Atkinson and Nereida Gallardo

Cristiano Ronaldo is said to be dating Ukranian shop girl Alyona Haynes.

The Manchester United star, 23, met the brunette – who works in the fashion department of Selfridges – in August.

And insiders say 25-year-old Alyona - estranged wife of wealthy businessman John Haynes – is smitten.

‘It's early days but Ronaldo seems very keen on her and has wined her and dined her at some very expensive restaurants,’ a pal reveals.

'Ronaldo texts her mobile day and night. She's very sexy and intelligent and finds him charming and funny.’

But John, 50, was left heartbroken when he found out.

‘I am filing for divorce. I had hoped we were just going through a rough patch, but when I finally saw a photograph of them together it confirmed my worst fears,' he tells Daily Mail. 'I felt physically sick.’

Alyona, who is the face of a dating website for Russian women, moved out of John's million-pound house earlier this year.

She is now said to be living with friends.
