Italian singer and model Raffaella Fico has previously dated both players, having had an 11-month relationship with Ronaldo back in 2009, and a five-month spell with Balotelli in 2011. "Balotelli is much sweeter than Cristiano Ronaldo ," Fico said, "Mario is a good person, he is good, what you see on the outside does not correspond to the private." Fico and Balotelli share a six-year old daughter from their brief fling, and were later embroiled in a bitter custody battle. However the pair have since put that behind them, with Fico admitting their problems are now in the past. A representative for Ronaldo told Mirror Sport the investigation is ongoing.
