\u201cWhen my 85-year-old grandad is asking me if I\u2019ve cheated on my girlfriend because he\u2019s seen it repeatedly on the news, that\u2019s where I draw the line on what\u2019s acceptable and what\u2019s not,\u201d the Portugal international wrote on Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cMaya and I have always had a relationship built on mutual respect. No line was ever crossed in that regard.<\/p>\n \u201cA lie told often enough can start to feel like the truth and for that reason I tell you that I didn\u2019t cheat, nor did I ever have the intention or temptation to.<\/p>\n \u201cI believe Maya deserves all the respect in the world. The reasons why we broke up are private and belong to us and we\u2019ve both dealt with it in a very mature way.<\/p>\n Ruben Dias\u2019s Manchester City future in doubt upon Pep Guardiola exit as agent receives instructions<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always chosen to remain silent on these matters as my personal life is my business only.
