Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have officially tied the knot in a private ceremony in Portugal, marking a joyful milestone in their long-term relationship. The couple, who shared the delightful news with a simple photo of their wedding rings, took this significant step in Cascais on August 11, surrounded by their five children.
Ronaldo, 41, a forward for Portugal and Al Nassr, and 32-year-old Spanish model Rodriguez, exchanged vows in a civil ceremony. Shortly after, they posted a heartwarming image of their hands adorned with wedding bands, confirming what fans had been guessing for some time.
Adding to the excitement, sports journalist Fabrizio Romano also confirmed the marriage, which put an end to months of speculation about when the couple would finally get married.
### A Twist Before the Big Day
The lead-up to their wedding was filled with amusing rumors. Just days before tying the knot, there were whispers that the couple would say “I do” at the historic S Cathedral in Ronaldo’s hometown of Madeira. Fans gathered outside the cathedral in hopes of seeing the couple, only to find out that the bride was someone else entirely, causing quite the confusion. This mix-up even drew a chuckle from Ronaldo, who responded with laughing emojis on social media.
Ronaldo’s family had previously denied claims of a wedding happening that weekend, while the football star himself stayed quiet about the actual date.
### From Meeting to Marriage
The couple first crossed paths in 2016 at a Gucci store where Rodriguez worked. They made their public debut together at the Best FIFA Football Awards in January 2017, shortly after which they confirmed their relationship. Ronaldo shared in Rodriguez’s Netflix series, “I Am Georgina,” that he didn’t foresee their romance becoming so profound. “I didn’t think at the beginning that this would be this strong,” he reflected, expressing how he gradually realized she was the one for him.
### A Loving Family
On August 11, 2025, exactly one year before their wedding, Rodriguez announced their engagement by sharing a lovely picture of her ring. The couple is nurturing a vibrant family, including daughters Alana and Bella, as well as Cristiano Jr. and twins Eva Maria and Mateo. Tragically, they faced a heart-wrenching loss in 2022 with the passing of Bella’s twin brother shortly after birth.
After years of rumors and anticipation, Ronaldo and Rodriguez have finally embraced this new chapter together.
