Portuguese football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, has married his long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez, 32, in a private and intimate ceremony. The couple exchanged vows on Tuesday at a luxury coastal resort in Cascais, located west of Lisbon. Their five children were present to witness the occasion.
The wedding was confirmed by the agency Brunswick Group, which represents the athlete. Both Ronaldo and Rodríguez shared a photo on their Instagram accounts showing their hands adorned with golden wedding rings, accompanied by the initials "C❤️G." The post quickly garnered over twelve million likes within hours.
This union follows the couple's engagement announcement exactly one year ago, on August 11, 2025, when Rodríguez posted a picture of their hands, featuring a large diamond ring on her finger. Ronaldo and Rodríguez, who was born in Argentina and is Spanish, have been a couple for approximately ten years. They first met when Rodríguez worked at a Gucci store.
In a Netflix production, Ronaldo had previously spoken about his relationship with Rodríguez, admitting he initially did not anticipate the bond would become so strong or that he would fall in love. However, he eventually felt she was "the woman of my life." For some time, rumors about a potential wedding had circulated, with persistent speculation suggesting the ceremony might take place on the previous weekend in Madeira, drawing crowds of onlookers and journalists who ultimately left disappointed.
