Cristiano Ronaldo confirms marriage with long-time girlfriend, posts picture with rings

Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo announced his marriage to long-time girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez on Tuesday. He shared a picture on Instagram showing the couple wearing their wedding rings with the caption "C(heart emoji)G."

The announcement follows Portugal's exit from the FIFA World Cup 2026, where they were eliminated in the round of 16 by Spain. The match ended in a 1-0 defeat for Portugal, with a late goal from Mikel Merino sealing Spain's quarterfinal spot.

This World Cup marked the final appearance for Ronaldo, who had previously announced his intention to play his last tournament on the grandest stage of the sport. His World Cup career, spanning 27 matches and yielding 11 goals, ended with Portugal suffering another defeat, leaving the legendary striker with sorrow.

Over his World Cup career, Portugal achieved a fourth-place finish in 2006, followed by various round of 16 and quarterfinal exits. The article notes that Ronaldo's rival, Lionel Messi, captured the trophy for Argentina in the same tournament, largely settling the 'GOAT' debate. Despite team disappointments, Ronaldo had a personally decent outing in the 2022 World Cup, scoring three goals in five matches.
