Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner, Georgina Rodriguez, have officially married in a civil ceremony held in Cascais, near Lisbon. The union marks a significant milestone in their decade-long relationship, which began in 2016 after the pair met at a Gucci store in Madrid where Rodriguez was employed as a sales assistant.
The couple confirmed the news by sharing a joint post on Instagram featuring a close-up photograph of their hands adorned with wedding rings. This announcement arrived exactly one year after the couple became engaged. The event effectively resolved recent public speculation regarding the location and date of the wedding, which had previously led to false reports of a ceremony in Ronaldo’s hometown of Funchal. Those rumors had caused hundreds of fans to gather at a cathedral, only to be disappointed. Ronaldo later acknowledged the confusion by posting a series of cry-laughing emojis in response to a social media update from Journal de Madeira.
British broadcaster Piers Morgan, who has interviewed the Portuguese football icon multiple times, offered his well-wishes publicly. On his official X account, Morgan wrote: "Congrats to my friends @Cristiano & Georgina on their wedding today in Portugal! They’re a great couple, and I wish them a long and happy marriage together. Parabéns!" During a past interview with Morgan, the Al-Nassr forward had previously indicated his intention to marry Rodriguez following the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The couple’s life together has been high-profile since they made their first official public appearance alongside Ronaldo’s eldest son, Cristiano Jr., at the 2017 Best FIFA Football Awards in Zurich. Later that year, they made their relationship public on Instagram. Over the years, the pair have navigated significant life events together, including the birth of their daughter Alana Martina and the surrogacy of twins. While they suffered the tragic loss of one twin during childbirth in 2022, Rodriguez remains a dedicated figure in the lives of all five of Ronaldo’s children. She is frequently seen supporting the football star at his matches and various public engagements.
Hundreds of fans subsequently flocked to the cathedral to catch a glimpse of the five-time Ballon d’Or winner and his partner on their big day.The gathered masses were left disappointed after realising that they acted based on mere speculation.
Although Georgina is the biological mother of only two of Ronaldo’s children, she treats all five of them as their own.The Argentine model is often seen accompanying Ronaldo to football matches and other events.
