Cristiano Ronaldo freely admits he is playing the field with ‘a few’ different women and will never reveal the identity of his son’s mother.

The 30-year-old split with model Irina Shayk earlier this year and has been romantically linked with a string of others.

Asked on The Jonathan Ross Show whether he has a ‘new special someone’, Ronaldo said: “A few. I have to figure it out. Some know [they are competing]. I am normal.

“To speak serious, it is not easy. I know 50 percent approach just for [celebrity] interest… It’s normal, not just me. All the famous people have these kinds of problems.

“I think I am a confident guy. I’m tall, have all my teeth, have a nice body.”

During the appearance, Ronaldo spoke about his relationship with his son and said he will tell Cristiano Jnr who his mother is when ‘the time is right’ and rejected pressure to publicly announce her identity.

He also all but conceded that a third consecutive Ballon d’Or victory is out of his reach in January, insisting that Barcelona’s Lionel Messi will regain the crown.

“This kind of trophy depends on votes and Messi won competitions,” Ronaldo said.

“He won the Champions League and La Liga. In terms of individual [performances] I probably did the best season of my career, which is good. I was the highest scorer in Europe.

“We share this stage at FIFA for eight years. No one did that in the past, only us. So it’s good, I have a good relationship with him. We are not old friends but we respect each other.”
