Cristiano Ronaldo became a father as the result of a one-night stand with a penniless American waitress, it was claimed on Saturday.

The Portuguese footballer is said to have paid the young woman £10million to keep her identity secret and hand the baby over to his family.

The 25-year-old former Manchester United forward met her in a Los Angeles restaurant during a trip to the US last summer, charming her with the line: ‘Me, you, **** ****’, it was reported.

When she failed to understand his direct approach, Ronaldo drew a love heart on a misted-up window and said: ‘Me, you, kiss!’

They slept together at his hotel later that night and when she discovered she was pregnant she tracked him down through his agent, Jorge Mendes, according to the Sunday Mirror.

The Real Madrid player agreed to a DNA test, which revealed he was the father while he was in South Africa at the World Cup, it claimed.

A friend of Ronaldo’s told the newspaper: ‘They are a traditional Roman Catholic family and the minute paternity was established there was absolutely no doubt that Ronni would be doing the right thing.’

He reportedly told the friend: ‘I feel like Boris Becker’—  a reference to the German tennis star who fathered a love child after having sex with model Angela Ermakova in a London restaurant in 1999, leading to a £20million divorce.

Ronaldo, who earns £200,000-a-week, made the surprise announcement that he had become a father on July 3 on his official website and on the Facebook and Twitter social networking websites.

He said the mother wanted to keep her identity confidential and said the boy would be under his ‘exclusive guardianship’.

His family later said the baby was called Cristiano Ronaldo junior and had been born in the US on June 17 weighing 9lb 8oz.

Reports in Portugal said Ronaldo had paid a surrogate mother to have the child in the US after deciding he desperately wanted to become a father. He has refused to comment on those claims.

Reese sizzles on set with Robert Pattinson

The weather in Los Angeles has been scorching, so no one would blame Reese Witherspoon for feeling the heat.

And when you throw into the equation Hollywood’s hottest heart-throb Robert Pattinson, it’s no wonder she was demanding water between takes.

The pair were on the set of Water For Elephants where they have been on a punishing schedule, filming 12 hours a day, five days a week since May.

Twilight star Robert Pattinson, 24, plays Jacob Jankowski – an orphaned veterinary student who is put in charge of a circus. There he meets Marlena, played by Witherspoon, the beautiful star of the equestrian act.

Despite the age gap between Robert and Reese, 34, they play lovers in the film.

Written by Oscar-nominated Richard LaGravenese, who also wrote P.S, I Love You and Freedom Writers, Water For Elephants is set in the early Thirties during the Great Depression.

This not the first time the pair have co-starred together.

In 2004, Pattinson played Witherspoon’s son in Vanity Fair before becoming one of the world’s biggest teen heart-throbs.

Did Spidey make that? Gwen Stefani steps out in a bizarre web top

Super-stylish popstar Gwen Stefani upped her game in the fashion department yesterday.

Known for her outrageous clothes, she was spotted in a very strange stripey top on a visit to her parents’ home.

The No Doubt singer, 40, appeared to be wearing normal casual clothes from the front, as she walked down the driveway in baggy Levi jeans and a loose grey and black shirt with flip-flops. But as she turned to get into her car, her bright blue bra was clear to see through a network of cobweb-style threads.

The bizarre top revealed almost all of Gwen’s bare back and dropped nearly to her knees in loose, hanging strings.

Gwen, who actually had a hit Spiderwebs, was at the house in LA, dropping off her youngest son, 23-month-old Zuma, before hurrying off to the cinema with older son Kingston, four.
