Days after Russian model Irina Shayk confirmed her split from Cristiano Ronaldo, rumours of the Portuguese footballer moving on are already circulating.

The 29-year-old Real Madrid attacking midfielder is allegedly dating Spanish TV reporter Lucia Villalon, according to the Daily Mail.

Last weekend, his girlfriend of nearly five years Shayk confirmed the split but denied rumours that his family was to blame for their break-up.

Dismissing claims that the relationship ended because she refused to attend a surprise party for Ronaldo’s mother’s birthday, Shayk insisted she was close with his family “throughout the course of their relationship.”

However, though she failed to be by the footballer’s side when he scooped the prestigious Ballon d’Or award for the third time during a ceremony in Zurich last week, the 26-year-old sports journalist was pictured celebrating with Ronaldo in Shayk's place.

The father of one was first linked to Lucia when she posted a photo of the pair on her Twitter account shortly after Ronaldo received the Ballon d’Or.



'There are 3! Golden ball congratulations! Zurich 12/01/15,' she wrote in the caption.

The intimate picture of the pair followed confirmation of Ronaldo and Shayk’s split.

Ronaldo’s alleged new flame, is a state broadcaster who graduated with law and journalism degrees.
