Russian model, Irina Shayk has leapt to the defence of her ex-boyfriend, Cristiano Ronaldo for celebrating his 30th birthday hours after Real Madrid’s heavy derby defeat to Atletico Madrid.
Speaking during a recent Sports Illustrated event, when asked about the criticisms aimed at the former Manchester United striker for hosting a birthday celebration on the same night of Real Madrid’s derby defeat, the model and actress simply said: ‘Unfair’
The pair who dated for five years, broke up amidst several reports that the model refused to attend the 60th birthday event of Cristiano Ronaldo’s mother in Portugal.
