Model Behavior
Karina Ferro wasn’t the only model Ronaldo was linked to—in 2003, he was involved with Brazilian model Jordana Jardel, the sister of his Sporting Lisbon teammate Mario Jardel.
Reportedly, Jardel was his first notable girlfriend as a professional player and the two were together while he was becoming a rising star in the soccer world.
While the romance was never confirmed or denied by Ronaldo or Jardel, the two were often pictured together and they were rumored to have dated for a few months.
Passionate Night
As Ronaldo was becoming more and more famous on the field, he started getting tied to more and more beautiful women. However, he wasn’t one to confirm his romances.
For example, rumors started circulating that the soccer player shared a passionate night with Big Brother star Imogen Thomas while she worked as a waitress in a London hotel. While neither party confirmed or denied the relationship, Thomas later spoke about her crush on Ronaldo in an interview saying, “Cristiano Ronaldo. He’s hot, I’d definitely snog him!”
But the relationship was over before it even began and his next one was about to be his longest yet.
