That is the story that took place in 2011…

With a girlfriend as hot as Irina Shayk who can blame Cristiano Ronaldo for struggling to keep his hands off his gorgeous girl.

The footballer, 26, and his model girlfriend 25, were seen frolicking in the sea in Portugal and it seems that Ronaldo proved himself to be one cheeky chappy.

Cristiano, who plays for Real Madrid, couldn’t resist patting his Russian girl’s bottom as the pair played around in the sea.

And it seemed the winger was certainly feeling playful and was seen trying to push his girlfriend of a year into the water.

After their dip in the ocean the pair made their way up the beach to top up their tans, which they appear to have been working hard on – judging from their mahogany colouring.

Irina showed off the figure that landed her a Sports Illustrated cover in a tiny day-glo green bikini.

Meanwhile Ronaldo appears to have been working hard in the gym and showed off a muscular buff body in a pair of small beige swim shorts.

Irina recently revealed that she doesn’t diet to keep in impeccable shape. Her enviable figure has seen her become one of the most in-demand models of the moment.

She told StyleBistro: ‘I never really diet. I think that a person can eat what she likes and do some exercises to be in shape – doesn’t matter if it’s going to be gym or swimming or walking in a park or pilates.
