New couple alert: Cristiano Ronaldo and Italian showgirl Raffaella Fico

Fico is a former Big Brother Italy housemate who became popular when she decided to sell her virginity to the highest bidder.

She fetched a price of £1 million.

The Italian magazine Chi interviewed the former show girl who admitted the affair, but also said that the situation is delicate and that she couldn’t talk about it. The model insists that she is Ronaldo‘s girlfriend and not just a summer fling even though the Portuguese is yet to publicly confirm their relationship status.
