“Nothing negative about him”: Cristiano Ronaldo’s ex girlfriend Gemma Atkinson says she refused money to criticize him after split

Gemma Atkinson has shared something very honest about her past with Cristiano Ronaldo. The actress said she was once offered a lot of money to say negative things about him after their short relationship ended in 2007. She made it clear she turned the offer down because she had nothing bad to say. At that time, Cristiano Ronaldo was playing for Manchester United, and the two were often seen together. Their relationship caught attention quickly. People wanted details, media outlets were interested, but when things ended, Gemma chose silence over profit.Speaking in an older interview on Manchester’s Key 103 radio, she explained her decision clearly. She said, “When we did split up, I got offered so much money to speak about him and I didn’t want that.” She added, “And I didn’t want that because there was nothing negative about him, so I don’t see any reason to tell bad things about him.” Her words show that even after a public breakup, she did not want to create drama for attention.Over the years, both Gemma Atkinson and Cristiano Ronaldo built new lives. Gemma is now married to professional dancer Gorka Marquez. They have two children together, Mia and Thiago. She often shares family moments and speaks about enjoying a quiet, settled life.Cristiano Ronaldo is engaged to Georgina Rodríguez. The couple met in 2016 when she was working at a Gucci store in Madrid. Today, they share daughters Alana and Bella. They also welcomed twins Eva Maria and Mateo through surrogacy. Bella had a twin brother named Angel, who sadly passed away shortly after birth. Cristiano also has a son, Cristiano Jr., from a previous relationship.In 2022, Cristiano Ronaldo signed a major contract with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia after leaving Manchester United. Reports widely covered the deal as one of the highest-paid contracts in football. His move came after a difficult second spell at the English club. It also marked a big change in his playing career.Recently, Georgina Rodríguez showed parts of their life in Saudi Arabia on Instagram. She shared photos of their home and family time together. Cristiano Ronaldo was seen spending time with the children and going on outings with them. The post was simply captioned, “Home.”While Cristiano Ronaldo continues playing, discussions around his move to Saudi Arabia and his global influence remain part of his public story. Through it all, Gemma Atkinson’s old interview reminds people that not every breakup needs headlines or harsh words.
