Cristiano Ronaldo knows how to surprise his fans, but this time he did so away from the football field. The news only became public as Ronaldo shared a picture of himself with Georgina on social media, where the two could be seen holding each other’s hands while wearing the wedding ring. The Portugal icon tied the knot with long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez on August 11 (Tuesday), leaving everyone on the internet stunned.
It has been reported that the couple got married in “a private and intimate moment attended by their five children.”
Key Factors
The five children are named: Cristiano Jr., twins Eva and Mateo, Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda. Over the past decade, their relationship has evolved from a chance meeting in Madrid into a close-knit family unit raising five children across Spain, Italy, the UK, and Saudi Arabia. A post shared by Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano) Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have been together for the past decade after meeting in Madrid in 2016.
The ceremony took place in Cascais, a coastal town in western Portugal near the capital Lisbon, the Brunswick Group said in the announcement. Ronaldo captioned the wedding post on Instagram: “C(heart emoji)G”.
Evidence and Data
The two reportedly met for the first time at a Gucci boutique in Madrid, where Georgina was working as a sales assistant. Ronaldo was playing for La Liga giants Real Madrid at the time. Days later, they met again at a brand event, where they were able to talk in a more relaxed environment outside her work hours. Months prior, Ronaldo had welcomed twins Mateo and Eva Maria via surrogate, whom Georgina embraced fully as part of their growing household alongside Ronaldo Jr. He was recently seen in action for the national team in his record-tying sixth World Cup. However, it wasn’t a campaign that Ronaldo or Portugal would like to remember for a long time.
In November 2017, Georgina gave birth to their daughter, Alana Martina. The Portuguese stalwart, who is the record goalscorer in international football with 146 strikes to his name for Portugal, has won the Ballon d’Or 5 times.
Outlook
He is expected to start the domestic season on Saturday. On the club level, Ronaldo plays for Saudi Pro League team Al Nassr.
