Did Cristiano Ronaldo pay a surrogate mother to carry his baby?

Yesterday the world found out via Facebook that soccer hottie Cristiano Ronaldo will be taking care of a secret son recently born of an unknown U.S. woman. Now the plot thickens.

Portuguese newspaper Diario de Noticias (via Daily Mail)claims that Cristiano may have used a surrogate from San Fransisco to carry his child!

Cristiano is reported to be quite a ladies’ man, so this whole story seems a little odd. Of course, it’s perfectly plausible that he could have gotten a woman knocked up a la Jude Law, but the strange thing is that he’s taking the child away from its mother to be raised by himself and his mother and sister.

Ronaldo is currently dating model Irina Shayk, who posted on her Facebook page yesterday: “My boyfriend is now the father of a boy.”
