Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina tie the knot, consummating a decade of love

Cristiano Ronaldo's wedding has blossomed. The 41-year-old Portuguese legend is now married.

Rumors of Ronaldo's wedding have been circulating for days. Yesterday, Tuesday, it became true. Ronaldo married his longtime partner Georgina Rodriguez in a family ceremony in the Portuguese beach town of Cascais. They tied the knot exactly a year after announcing their engagement.

Ronaldo's representatives confirmed the news of his wedding. This marks the consummation of Georgina and Ronaldo's decade-long love. The Brunswick Group, which is in charge of Ronaldo's public relations, told the AFP news agency that the couple's five children were present at the completely 'private and domestic' ceremony.

Ronaldo posted a picture on social media last night Bangladesh time. His hand on Georgina's hand, a ring on their ring finger. The caption is an emoji of love between the words 'C' and 'G'. Fans understood what was meant by that.

Georgina announced the news of Ronaldo's engagement on August 11 last year by posting a photo on Instagram. She posted a photo of Ronaldo's hand on her ring finger, wearing a large ring. Exactly one year later, the photo of Ronaldo's hand on Georgina's hand was reversed - now Ronaldo's trusting and loving hand is on Georgina's hand. Legally, the two are now husband and wife.

There were rumors in the Portuguese media that the wedding could take place in Sintra outside Lisbon or in Ronaldo's hometown of Madeira, an island on the Atlantic Ocean. After the news broke that the wedding was taking place in a church in Funchal, Madeira, hundreds of people gathered in front of the church. But it later turned out that even though the bride and groom came, they were not Ronaldo and Georgina!

The church authorities had previously told AFP that Ronaldo's wedding ceremony was not scheduled there. However, they also said that it would have been an "honor" for them to be able to organize such an event. In the end, Ronaldo and Georgina chose the beach town of Cascais, about 30 kilometers west of Lisbon, as the wedding venue. They have a villa there.

Georgina, 32, was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The two met while Georgina was working as a saleswoman at a Gucci showroom in Madrid in 2016. In Georgina's words, it was "love at first sight."

In an interview with Vogue Arabia magazine in 2025, Georgina said that after coming close to Ronaldo, she felt like, "We have known each other forever." The two appeared in public together for the first time in January 2017 at FIFA's 'The Best FIFA Football Awards' ceremony. Ronaldo officially announced his engagement to Georgina in May of that year by posting a picture on Instagram.

The couple has more than 750 million followers on social media. They are one of the most famous star couples in the world beyond football. They have investment portfolios in various sectors including fashion brands and hotel chains.

Ronaldo's eldest son is named Cristiano Jr. Born in 2010, Junior's mother's identity has never been revealed by the Portuguese legend. In June 2017, the Al Nasr star became the father of Eva Maria and Mateo through a surrogate. Five months later, Alana Martina was born to his girlfriend Georgina. In 2022, Georgina gave birth to twins Bella and Angel. However, Angel died shortly after birth.

Ronaldo has scored 976 goals in his professional career. After playing for Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, he now plays for Saudi Pro League team Al Nasr. He has won five Ballon d'Ors along the way. In addition to winning the Champions League five times, he has also won league titles in Italy, Spain and England. Ronaldo also holds the record for most appearances and goals for Portugal.
