Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-time partner, model Georgina Rodríguez, have exchanged vows in a private ceremony at their home in Cascais, Portugal. The intimate wedding, held exactly ten years after they first met, was attended only by their closest family members.
I wanted something intimate – with my partner and our children, at home.
Speculation about the wedding location and date had circulated for weeks, but the couple revealed in a Vogue interview that they chose a private, at-home ceremony. Rodríguez stated she desired an intimate event with her partner and children, emphasizing that while she once dreamed of a fairytale wedding, privacy is now more important to her.
Castles, houses, islands, horses or cars, we have every day. But something truly intimate is much more extraordinary for us.
The wedding date, August 11, held symbolic significance as it marked the tenth anniversary of their first encounter at a Gucci store in Madrid. Their five children played a central role in the ceremony. Following the civil ceremony, the couple and their children traveled to the pilgrimage site of Fatima, where a priest bestowed a blessing upon them in a small chapel.
I try to avoid places where crowds gather.
While the wedding was a private affair, Rodríguez announced plans for a larger celebration in the future to include family and friends, citing a lack of time this year for such an event. The couple, who share a massive social media following, wore custom Gucci attire for their wedding.
In the future, we will have a big wedding so we can celebrate with family and friends.
