Famous Footballers Russian Wives

Most of the girls love this sport because of footballers, who are handsome, famous and rich. But there are a lot of womanizers among them. To marry a football player is not only very hard but practically impossible.
For example, Cristiano Ronaldo was going to marry Irina Shayk in 2012, but she is still a bride.
And another couple – 30-year-old TV presenter Victoria Lopyreva and 23-year-old Dynamo striker Fedor Smolov arranged a date of the wedding on September 27. 300 guests were invited and the celebration was postponed indefinitely. However, some time ago the wedding ceremony was held in the Maldives.
Here you can look at beautiful footballers’ wives – civil and … ex.
