Rumours had been rife about the state of the relationship since Shayk missed the Ballon D'Or ceremony last week and they were fuelled further when a representative of Shayk told the American press the couple had split.
Shayk, 29, made her name as a lingerie and swimwear model and starred in her first Hollywood movie 'Hercules' last year.
Ronaldo's third Ballon d'Or came in a year in which the 29-year-old Portuguese Real Madrid superstar scored 61 goals and helped the Spanish giants win their 10th Champions League
