It is not known exactly where the snaps were taken, but Ronaldo is currently holidaying in Saint Tropez with his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and friends.

Back in 2015, Ronaldo was spotted sunning himself in a pair of small yellow swimming shorts as he joined the pair and Sir Philip's wife Tina in Saint Tropez.
Earlier this month, Sir Philip's retail empire narrowly avoided falling into administration with an eleventh hour rescue package.
It will pave the way for a raft of store closures at Arcadia, which owns brands such as Topshop and Miss Selfridge, putting around 1,000 jobs at risk.
However, it means a more secure future for most of the chain's 18,000 staff and its 9,000 pension fund members.

Speaking after the deal was made, a bullish Sir Philip was asked why the British public don't trust him.
He replied to the BBC's Simon Jack: 'Because you lot make them all f****** jealous! That's why, it's quite basic. But these people writing all this s*** couldn't spell fifty quid. They all get jealous.
'As for someone who can actually write out a cheque and actually writes one out, people don't like it.'
There are fears Arcadia's pension fund could suffer the same fate as that of BHS. The department store collapsed with a £571million pension black hole in 2016, a year after Green sold it for £1.
He later plugged the scheme with £363million from his own fortune.

Ronaldo has been keeping his fans up to date on his adventures in the French Riviera on social media.
Earlier this week, he flaunted his chiseled chest as he relaxed with his long-time pal Miguel Paixão in an Instagram snap.
On Monday, Ronaldo also shared a sweet snap with Georgina, wrapping his arms around his model partner as they cosied up in hot tub on board the lavish yacht they are currently staying on.
Cristiano and Georgina are parents to daughter Alana Martina, 12 months. The sports star is also father to two-year-old twins Eva and Mateo - who were conceived by a surrogate mother.
Earlier this month Georgina spoke to Italy's Elle magazine about her relationship with the Portuguese player, as she explained they first met at the Gucci store where she worked.
The brunette beauty, who swapped Madrid for Turin last summer after Cristiano signed for Juventus, painted an idyllic existence of life in her new home city with her partner of nearly three years.
