Ronaldo fans flock to Madeira cathedral after wedding rumours, but the bride wasn’t Georgina

Ronaldo fans swarmed the historic Funchal Cathedral in Madeira, Portugal, believing it was the site of the football star's wedding to Georgina Rodriguez. The couple, originally from Madeira and living in France, were reportedly targeted by a social media frenzy, causing chaos as thousands of fans gathered outside the church. Rumors on social media had spread that Ronaldo and Georgina had chosen Madeira for their wedding, leading many fans to wear the iconic No 7 jersey associated with Ronaldo.

The confusion led to disruptions as friends and family of the real bride, Fabio and Fatima, struggled to enter the church. The priest at Funchal Cathedral, Marcos Goncalves, clarified that the wedding taking place was for Fabio and Fatima, not Ronaldo and Georgina. Ronaldo himself reacted to the mix-up by posting laughing emojis, further fueling the social media frenzy.

Speculation about Ronaldo and Georgina's wedding had been ongoing since the footballer's sister, Katia Aveiro, shared footage of her arrival in Madeira, referring to it as a "party". Ronaldo and Georgina have been engaged since last year, with Ronaldo indicating his intention to marry Georgina after the World Cup.
