The identity of the mother of Cristiano Ronaldo's son has always been a bit of an enigma for the four-year-old toddler. Until Cristiano and his family decide to stop hiding the identity of Cristianinho's birth mother, the boy will know nothing about the person who gave birth to him.

Speaking to The Mirror, Cristiano's sister Elma said that they once told Cristianinho that his mother has gone to heaven. However, the Real Madrid superstar and their mother had mandated them not to tell the same story again. She said that Cristianinho was then told that his mother "went travelling." Since then, the boy had not asked about his mother.

Cristiano, on the other hand, was reportedly conclusive never to reveal the true identity of his son's mother.

"The mum will never be known," Ronaldo told her sister. According to the British news outlet, the questions surrounding Cristianinho's mother fuelled after Cristiano's mother Dolores released a biography wherein she stated that she flew to the U.S. to fetch the boy shortly after birth in 2010.

Cristianinho is living with Cristiano and his mother Dolores in Madrid.

Meanwhile, Dolores' biographer Paulo Sousa Costa let out a secret and stated that Cristiano may soon marry his supermodel girlfriend Irina Shayk. "Dolores knows sooner or later he'll get married," Costa said.

Prior to dating Irina, Cristiano was rumoured to have dated a number of beautiful international celebrities. Zimbio.com compiled a history of Cristiano's past relationships.

Cristiano has previously dated fellow Portuguese and model Merche Romero. He also had short-lived romances with British models Gemma Atkinson and Jasmine Lennard, Portuguese Pop Idol Luciana Abreu, and Spanish model Nereida Gallardo. Cristiano was also rumoured to have gone out with Hollywood socialite Paris Hilton and reality TV star Kim Kardashian before exclusively dating the Sports Illustrated Russian model.
