Ronaldo Marries Georgina Rodríguez
Cristiano Ronaldo and long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez announced they have married in a private civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal. The couple shared the news on Instagram and the intimate event was reportedly attended by Ronaldo’s five children.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have married, the couple announced with a joint post on Instagram on Tuesday, Aug. 11. The post showed the couple’s hands stacked with wedding bands and a simple caption, "C (heart emoji) G." People reports the wedding was a private civil ceremony held in Cascais, Portugal, and was attended by the football star’s five children.
The youngest two children are shared by Ronaldo and Rodríguez; Ronaldo had three children before their relationship. Ronaldo, 41, and Rodríguez, 32, have been together since meeting in 2016 when Rodríguez was working as a sales associate at a Gucci store and Ronaldo was a customer.
The couple confirmed their relationship publicly in 2017 and announced their engagement last August. Rodríguez has shared aspects of their life together in her Netflix docuseries I Am Georgina; a year before the wedding announcement she posted a photo wearing a large diamond ring with the Spanish caption roughly translating to, "Yes, of course.
In this and all of my lives." The marriage comes as Ronaldo continues an active playing career. He represented Portugal at this summer’s World Cup — his sixth World Cup and one many observers called likely his last — where Portugal reached the round of 16 before being eliminated by eventual champion Spain.
Ronaldo scored three goals in the tournament, including his first-ever goal in a World Cup knockout match. He is due to begin the new season with Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr this weekend and is chasing a milestone of 1,000 career goals. For residents of the British Virgin Islands, the news is another reminder of how global sports figures continue to capture local attention.
Many fans in the territory follow international football closely and gather at sports bars and community spots to watch major fixtures. Ronaldo’s marriage, announced on social media, is likely to be widely covered across international outlets and discussed in local sports and social circles.
The couple’s decision to hold a private ceremony underscores their preference for keeping family moments intimate despite extensive public and media interest. No further public celebrations have been confirmed. According to People and the couple’s Instagram announcement, the union marks the next chapter in a high-profile relationship that has played out on and off the pitch and screen.
