It is just normal for superstar male athletes to snag some of the most beautiful women in the world. As much as it is interesting to see footballers play on the field, it is as equally interesting to find out the women on the stands who cheer on their men.

For the longest time, David and Victoria Beckham have been regarded as the most beautiful couple in football. It looks it may be time to pass on the torch to Ronaldo and Shayk.

The duo have been dating since May 2010. Even though their respective professions make it hard for them to always be together, they always find time to spend some quality time with each other whenever they can. Ronaldo's football career is keeping him busy. As for Shayk, she mostly stays in New York, but her modeling career demands her to travel to different parts of the globe.

Ronaldo and Shayk are not only a hot couple, but they also makes a perfect couple who always seem to hog the limelight whenever they go out.

Recently, the rumour that Ronaldo has secretly wed Shayk started circulating in many news Web sites after the 29-year-old Ballon d'Or winner regarded Shayk as his wife during his speech when he accepted the Ballon d'Or trophy. Neither Ronaldo nor Shayk commented on the rumour.

Ronaldo just celebrated his 29th birthday on Feb 5. He has reportedly celebrated with his family, son, and some of his close friends.

"It was fabulous to celebrate my birthday yesterday with my friends and family, I had a great time, thank you all," Ronaldo tweeted.

Shayk, on the other hand, was busy rooting for her country Russia in the 2014 Winter Olympics. She led the Russian Olympic team during the opening ceremony on Feb. 7.
