Sensationally, it has been reported that Cristiano Ronaldo is in a relationship with Moroccan kickboxer, Badr Hari.

The bizarre report surfaced after stories emerged in the Spanish press that he was making regular trips to Morocco to see Badr.

The Real Madrid footballer is known for dating a string of supermodels, but is said to recently be regularly visiting kickboxer friend Badr Hari for 'cuddles', according to the Daily Mail. 

This lead to a discussion on French TV about what footballers do in their spare time.

One of the pundits, Daniel Riolo, stated during the TV show: "What I’m interested in is what players do on the pitch, and whether their side activities might have an impact on that.

"Take the example of Cristiano Ronaldo – I'm sure flying off to Morocco three to four times a week to see a friend and cuddle with him might have an impact on his performances eventually."

This later sparked a worldwide debate on social media of whether the footballer is gay. 

It was claimed he used the private jet to take him to Morocco after training and back again the same night so he could attend the following day's training.

We have to say, they do look cosy, but are these rumours going too far?
