Cristiano Ronaldo has spoken out for the first time after he was photographed with Paris Hilton in an LA nightclub, after speculation that the two were more than friends.

Cristiano told British newspaper, The Sun, "She was a really cool girl and we had a great time talking."

"I am a young man and Paris a young lady, and us talking in a club is just what normal people our age do. She lives thousands of miles away and is busy, and I am busy in Madrid so I am not sure if we will be able to see each other."

Finally Cristiano said the two were "getting to know each other". More will be reported as the saga continues.
