I know we live in a http://www.elleseymour.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/cristiano_ronaldo_shopping1-1.jpgdiverse society, but one has to wonder why hunky footballer Christiano Ronaldo resorts to buying a child from a surrogate mother rather than conceiving naturally in a loving and committed relationship.

No mention has been made of him being unable to conceive naturally. So we are left to assume that paternal instincts have kicked in for the 25-year-old, who has dated a host of beautiful women – his current girlfriend is a Russian underwear model. His mother and sisters in Portugal are to raise the baby boy who was born in America last month; he’s not even going to be around for the sleepless nights as he plays for Real Madrid.

I do not feel babies should be bought this way by wealthy playboys. I wonder if he is a bit of a control freak to plan it like this: “my son will be under my exclusive guardianship”. He has followed the example of his reported hero Ricky Martin – the Puerto Rican pop star with swiveling hips – who had twins with a surrogate mother two years ago.

I wonder how many other wealthy single men buy babies from surrogate mothers. Am I being over analytical in believing it shows they have a low esteem of women? However rich you are, a baby still needs a father and mother.
