Arguably considered as ladies' man, Cristiano Ronaldo is back on the single market yet again as he reportedly has dumped model girlfriend Nereida Gallardo. It was just late last month that the pair were snapped showing off their public display of affection (PDA) during a holiday on a luxury yacht in Sardinia, now that reports of their split have been all over the net.

According to Portuguese newspaper 24 Horas, the couple's break-up is a "secret of the gods", but the publication went on to claim that Ronaldo was tired of reading lurid headlines about Gallardo's past relationships. To make matter worse, recent report claimed Gallardo had a fling with Spanish international footballer Sergio Ramos.

In addition to the affair accusation, Gallardo is also rumored to not getting well with Ronaldo's mother Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro, who believed she was after her son's money.

The break up reports have not yet been confirmed nor denied.

Ronaldo, in the meantime, is said to be resting at his home in Sintra, north of Lisbon, after undergoing an operation on his injured right ankle last week.
