Cristiano Ronaldo marries long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez

Cristiano Ronaldo, the renowned footballer, has tied the knot with his long-term partner, model and influencer Georgina Rodríguez, in a civil ceremony held in Portugal. The football star shared an image on his Instagram account showcasing their wedding rings, symbolizing their union. Portuguese media reported that the couple exchanged their vows on August 11th in the coastal town of Cascais, near Lisbon, with their five children in attendance.

The couple's relationship, which lasted for 10 years, commenced when they met at a Gucci store in Madrid, where Rodríguez was working while Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid. Ronaldo proposed to Rodríguez on August 11th of the previous year, with the model sharing a picture of their engagement ring, expressing her happiness. Ronaldo has five children in total, two of whom he shares with Rodríguez, and the family resides in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Alana Martina, their first daughter born in 2017, and their youngest daughter Bella, born in April 2022 alongside a twin brother who sadly passed away, complete Ronaldo's family. The football legend, who has scored nearly 1,000 goals throughout his career, currently serves as Portugal's captain and recently participated in his sixth World Cup, a record he shares with Lionel Messi.

Ronaldo has claimed the Ballon d'Or five times, the second-highest number of wins following Messi, who holds the top spot with eight victories. His current club, Al-Nassr, confirmed a two-year contract extension in 2022, with Ronaldo set to remain with the Riyadh-based club until 2027. In 2022, Ronaldo's net worth was valued at $1.4 billion, solidifying his position as the first billionaire football player.
