Raffaella Fico, who was a guest on Monica Setta’s TV show on Rai 2 as per Gazzetta, talked about her experiences with two famous footballers.
The celebrated showgirl claimed she met Ronaldo at an event when she was barely 21, and they dated briefly but intensely, making him the first boyfriend she ever had.
“I was 20-21 years old. I was in Sardinia at an event; I met him (Ronaldo) on that occasion. He approached me, began to court me, and we exchanged numbers.
“Thus began this little story. I didn’t even know who he was. I was with my agent who said to me ‘Look who you got’ and I asked him who he was, he explained to me that he was one of the best footballers in the world
“It was a beautiful, intense story that I keep in my heart. He was my first boyfriend.”
When Raffaella was asked for details about the courtship, she added: “He invited me to dance, we danced a bit together, he gave me a rose, and we exchanged numbers. The first time I joined him in Portugal.”
After the affair with Ronaldo ended, Raffaella fell madly in love with Mario Balotelli, whom she met through the former Man City striker’s sister.
Their love story produced a daughter, who is now 11 years old, and Raffaella explained how it took a DNA test to convince Balotelli that he was the father.
“I met Balotelli at the disco; I went there with his sister, who I had met on the Isola dei Famosi,” Raffaella continued.
“He got my number from his sister, then we started talking, we went out together, and at the end of the evening, from the hood of the car, he took out a bouquet of roses.”
Regarding her daughter, Raffaella said: “Pia was born after a year and a half of the relationship. After the first three months, we immediately tried to have her, then she arrived.
“Then he, perhaps because he was too young and a bit peppery, he didn’t feel like being a father at the beginning.
“I don’t hold a grudge; I have forgiven him everything because Pia was born from our relationship, and she is my great love. There have been betrayals. When we were together, I was betrayed.
“He cheated on me on more than one occasion. They were public horns; they couldn’t even hide. I forgave him because I was very much in love.”
And regarding the fact that for a period he did not want to be a father and asked for a DNA test to confirm Pia’s paternity, Fico said: “At the beginning, he was very happy with the pregnancy, but he changed his mind.”
Raffaella says they have both moved past when they were immature and caught up in youthful exuberance.
She confirms that Balotelli was ‘the great love of my life’ and that she takes Pia to see him as often as her schedule allows her.
