Cristiano Ronaldo marries long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez

Cristiano Ronaldo has tied the knot with his long-term partner, model Georgina Rodríguez, in a civil ceremony in Portugal. The football star shared an Instagram post featuring two hands clasped together, each wearing a wedding ring, announcing their union. Portuguese media report that the couple, who have five children, exchanged vows on August 11th in the coastal town of Cascais, near Lisbon.

The Instagram post garnered over 3 million likes within the first half-hour. Ronaldo and Rodríguez have been together for a decade, meeting at a Gucci store in Madrid when Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid. They announced their engagement on the same date last year. Rodríguez expressed her joy on social media with a large ring photo and the Spanish phrase "Yes I do.

In this and in all my lives." Throughout his career, Ronaldo has scored nearly 1,000 goals, having played for Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, and the Portuguese national team. Ronaldo recently participated in his sixth World Cup, a record for international appearances that he shares with Lionel Messi.
