Ronaldo kid's mum 'is dead'

Posted Friday, January 28, 2011 by The Sun

THE mystery mother of Cristiano Ronaldo's baby is DEAD, the striker's sister has bizarrely claimed.

Katia Aveiro, 33, spoke out as she denied stories about the woman's identity - but did not explain when or how she had died.

She said in an interview: "There is no woman calling him. There is no mother, no telephone calls, nothing. His mother died. The baby doesn't have a mother."

When the ex-Man United ace revealed last July he'd become a dad, he said the mother wanted to stay secret. He said the boy, called Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, would be under his "exclusive guardianship".

Portuguese media claimed the £200,000-a-week Real Madrid star, 25 - who is dating Russian underwear model Irina Shayk, also 25 - had paid a surrogate in the US to have the baby.

But last month a British Sunday newspaper claimed the mum was a 20-year-old UK student who had a one-night stand with the Portuguese striker.

She accepted £10million from the world's top-paid footballer to give up her rights as a parent, the paper claimed. But it said she then changed her mind and called Ronaldo, demanding to see the boy. The star reportedly told pals he was worried she'd try to take his son away. But Katia dismissed the UK reports as "nonsense".
