When Cristiano Ronaldo met Kim Kardashian

Kim Kardashian has been mixing with a host of footballing stars this week, leading football fans to reminisce about her rumoured romance with Cristiano Ronaldo.

Kim Kardashian was spotted watching Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night, filming Bukayo Saka's penalty as the Gooners crashed out of the Europa League at the hands of Sporting Lisbon.

A trip to the Premier League leaders wasn't the only footballing activity on Kim K's agenda this week, as she also posted a picture to her Instagram account which featured former Spurs favourite Dele Alli posing alongside her family.

The Keeping with the Kardashian's star has a long list of rumoured dating history when it comes to the sport of football, having allegedly been involved in a romantic relationship with five-time Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo back in 2010.

The two were pictured together in Madrid - where Ronaldo was plying his trade at the time - whilst Kim was of a far lower profile than she is now, as Keeping with the Kardashian's was in its infancy.

The 42-year-old quashed rumours of a romantic relationship with Ronaldo in a interview with Ryan Seacrest back in 2011, declaring that the two were just "friends" although not everyone believed what she had to say.

Footage has recently emerged on social media of the two together on a night out with what appears to be separate groups of friends, and whilst there is no overwhelming evidence of a relationship between the duo, things do look to be a little bit tense.
