And this is why you (if you were a superstar athlete) shouldn’t go on seven-week vacations in Sardinia with your girlfriend—you end up breaking up with her. There is such a thing as spending too much time with each other. Alas, that is the tale of the biggest soccer star in the world, Crisitano Ronaldo, and his now ex-love, Nereida Gallardo. We’d like to believe that’s the story, anyway, and not the rumors circulating that Cristiano was pushed to dump her by his madre and his inability to deal with the press about their relationship. Well, we can understand that, since he’s so shy and all.

The Portuguese tabloid 24 horas says that C-Ron had gotten tired of all the gossip and press about Nereida’s past and their relationship. Also, his mama hated her and felt she was a fame whore. Gee, can’t think why.

Well, that wouldn’t be the first time that’s happened. It seems like Ronaldo’s shedding his past to get ready for a move to Spain, and Nereida was just a piece of baggage he didn’t want to take.
