Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has tied the knot with his long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez in an intimate ceremony held in the Portuguese resort town of Cascais. Representatives for the star confirmed the wedding took place on Tuesday, bringing to a close a decade-long relationship that has captivated fans worldwide.
The nuptials occurred after days of heightened media speculation in Portugal regarding the exact location and timing of the ceremony. Ronaldo, 41, took to Instagram to share a picture of the couple's hands adorned with wedding bands, accompanied by the simple caption "C (heart) G," confirming their union to his millions of followers.
The couple's five children were present at the "private and intimate" ceremony, as confirmed by the Brunswick Group, which manages Ronaldo's public relations. This union comes exactly one year after Rodriguez, a 32-year-old influencer, announced their engagement on the same social media platform.
Ronaldo, who recently played for Portugal in the World Cup and currently plays for Saudi club Al Nassr, has had a storied career, including multiple Ballon d'Or awards. Rodriguez has also built a significant public profile, starring in a Netflix series that chronicles their family life. Despite intense media interest and speculation about potential venues like Sintra or Ronaldo's birthplace, Madeira, the couple ultimately chose Cascais, a scenic coastal town near Lisbon where they own a villa, for their special day. They first met in 2016, with Rodriguez describing their encounter as "love at first sight."
