Real Madrid star player Cristiano Ronaldo and Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio are the featured cover models in GQ's "Body Issue" special. The pair appear shirtless, with Ronaldo wearing just red briefs while a topless Ambrosio is behind him wearing a black bikini bottom.

GQ described the two as possessing "the best bodies of any humans on earth," hence they were the perfect choice for the cover. Ronaldo and Ambrosio worked with the magazine back in October 2015 and even posted a video of the "top secret" project they were shooting from behind-the-scenes.

In the video, the Portuguese soccer player said that he had a fantastic time working with the stunning Brazilian model, while Ambrosio also had nothing but good words for Ronaldo, calling him an "amazing person."

In having a perfectly-toned body, Ronaldo is said to maintain a high-protein diet while he fends off the calories by doing intense fitness routines, according to Celebrity Health Fitness. It also helps that he still trains and plays soccer professionally at 31-years old.

After the Christmas holidays, Ronaldo returned to his workouts and is currently training even harder than ever with new Real Madrid head coach and former star player Zinedine Zidane, according to Daily Mail. Ronaldo posted a photo of him and his young son working out at the gym on his Instagram last week:

On the other hand, Ambrosio's diet and fitness secrets involve enjoying a heavy breakfast of muffins, fruits and coffee and attending regular Pilates or yoga sessions. Aside from being a busy model, she's also a mother of two kids so, in between taking care of her family's needs, she considers the classes as her "me time."

"It's important to break a sweat every day, and I love the way Pilates makes me feel long and lean," she said according to Glamour. Ambrosio does morning sessions, while the kids are in school or at playgroups. She also works out with a personal trainer, Justin Gelband, who helps her do the Brazil Butt Lift program, according to Shape.

Ambrosio has a weakness for Japanese food and often indulges in dining at her favorite Japanese restaurant in Los Angeles, per Glamour. Her diet mostly includes eating salads and green juices, while cutting down on cakes and pastries so that she looks her best in the runway, as per Hollywood Life.
