Cristiano Ronaldo is football royalty and is probably not used to chasing women and being turned down for dates. So, it must have come as a shock to the football superstar when Aline Lima, an Australian model turned down his repeated advances and requests to meet him alone.
This is the Australian model who said 'NO' to football star Cristiano Ronaldo
A report in the Daily Mail, the incident took place during the 30-year-old football star's tour of Australia. Lima had apparently messaged Ronaldo on Instagram to ask if he had received a letter from her boyfriend. Her boyfriend Alex is a big Real Madrid fan.

Ronaldo, however, was more interested in Lima and asked for the model's phone number and offered her tickets to see his side take on Manchester City at the Melbourne Cricket Ground during the International Champions Cup match in July.
Lima, who is Miss Latina Australia runner-up, refused saying: 'No, my boyfriend would not be happy.'
But the footballer seemed unfazed by the news she was taken, responding with: 'No one knows, baby. Quiet.'
When she continued to say no, he was at a loss as to why she would not cooperate, texting back: 'Seriously?'
When suggesting they meet up, he said that she should bring a friend.
Lima approached him again to see if he would meet her boyfriend but it appeared he was more keen to get her alone.
'Yes, beautiful. But it is difficult. I do not want to know man. I want to meet you,' he replied via messaging service WhatsApp.
The exchange comes after Ronaldo was caught by his former girlfriend Irina Shayk, 29, swapping raunchy messages with several women.
It is understood that Ronaldo confessed to flirting with dozens of women around the world but offered “little excuse” to Irina, who ended their five-year relationship.

"I trusted him and stuck up for him when there were rumours he had been with other women. I feel stupid that Cristiano fooled me.”
Later, Irina spoke to a Spanish Publication, Hola, and was asked whether she likes being in a relationship, to which she replied: ‘Of course I prefer to be with someone, but with the right someone.
'It's very simple. You have to be faithful to your other half and not have secrets. That's my rule.'
Ronaldo himself confirmed the split in January, saying: 'After dating for five years, my relationship with Irina Shayk has come to an end. We believed it would be best for both of us to take this step now. I wish Irina the greatest happiness'.
A look at the Australian model's pictures are a good indicator of why Ronaldo probably wanted to meet her. However, Lima’s refusal must have been a huge blow for Ronaldo’s ego especially at a time when he seems to have immersed himself in work after the highly-publicised split with Shayk.
