The Claim

Cristiano Ronaldo and Kathryn Mayorga reached an out-of-court settlement for about $350,000 in connection with Kathryn Mayorga's allegations against Cristiano Ronaldo.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Reliable reporting and court filings show that Ronaldo and Mayorga entered a confidential out-of-court settlement in 2010. The amount repeatedly reported is $375,000, so the claim understates it by $25,000. That numerical imprecision is real, but it does not change the central fact that a settlement was reached for a mid-$300,000 sum.

Caveats

  • The documented settlement amount is consistently reported as $375,000, not $350,000.
  • The sources support the existence of a settlement, not any conclusion about the truth of the underlying allegations.
  • Some reporting uses leaked or litigated documents; the strongest support comes from court filings and major outlets citing them.
