The Portuguese striker may have started a new relationship with a TV journalist that works for Real Madrid's channel. Her name? Lucia Villalon

It hasn't been a week since Cristiano Ronaldo and Irina Shayk revealed they are not a couple anymore, and it seems the Portuguese striker has already filled his sentimental void. Sources indicate Los Blancos' superstar started a relationship with Lucia Villalon, a Spanish journalist that works for Real Madrid's TV channel.

The absence of his former girlfriend during last Monday's Ballon D'Or ceremony sparked rumors about CR7's personal life. Those rumors were confirmed by Shayk's agent, who refused to comment further details on the real reasons why the couple ended their five-year relationship.

Fans were worried about the player's recent form, since the player did not seem focused in the club's recent games, especially in their Copa del Rey matchup against Atletico, where CR7 had a below average performance despite scoring one goal.

Regarding his supposed new girlfriend, Villalon used to work for Television Española, and posted a photo on her social media after the Portuguese player won his third Ballon D'Or. As of today, Villalon's twitter account is followed by 8736 users, and will surely have a major boost if the rumors have some truth in them. The TV journalist already follows CR7's Twitter account, along with those of his team-mates Sergio Ramos, Toni Kroos, James Rodriguez and Javier Hernandez.
