Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez exchanged vows on August 11, 2026, a year after their engagement. Defying global expectations of a lavish ceremony, the couple opted for a private event in Cascais, Portugal, instead of a grand celebration in Funchal, Madeira. Ronaldo confirmed the marriage with a simple Instagram post featuring their hands with wedding rings, captioned "C❤️G," which quickly garnered millions of congratulatory messages.
The intimate ceremony was exclusively attended by their five children: Cristiano Junior, twins Eva and Mateo, Alana Martina, and Bella Esmeralda. Key witnesses included Georgina's sister, Ivana Rodríguez, and Miguel José, one of Ronaldo's oldest friends from his time at Sporting Lisbon. Official documents also named José and Monica, a mother and son close to Georgina who work in the jewelry business, as witnesses, highlighting the couple's careful selection of trusted individuals for their special day.
Prior to the wedding, which took place at 1:30 PM, the couple signed a prenuptial agreement to detail their financial arrangements. While details of the celebration remain private, Georgina has subtly showcased her new wedding band on social media, seen alongside her engagement ring in a photo taken on a plane. The couple has since returned to their usual social media activities, keeping the specifics of their union closely guarded.
