Nereida Gallardo had a series of dates with footballer Sergio Ramos just months before beginning her relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, NOW reports.

Nereida Gallardo dated Sergio Ramos before Cristiano Ronaldo?

‘Cristiano doesn't know Nereida's already slept with one of Real Madrid's top players,’ a friend tells the News of The Word.

‘He's a jealous guy and she's kept it a secret from him because it's something in her past. Sergio's a bit of a joker and the last thing she wants is him welcoming Cristiano to Madrid by announcing he's already tackled his girlfriend.’

Nereida and the Manchester United star, both 23, have been dating since January.
