Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has married his longtime partner, Spanish model and influencer Georgina Rodríguez, in a civil ceremony in Portugal.
Ronaldo appeared to confirm the marriage on social media by sharing a photograph of two hands wearing wedding rings, accompanied by a message celebrating the occasion.
Portuguese media reports said the couple exchanged vows on 11 August in the coastal town of Cascais, near Lisbon, with their five children reportedly in attendance.
The couple has been together for about a decade after first meeting at a Gucci store in Madrid, where Rodríguez was working while Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid.
They announced their engagement in August last year, with Rodríguez sharing a photograph of her large engagement ring and confirming the news.
Ronaldo, 41, has five children. Two are his children with Rodríguez, while she has also played a role in raising his other three children. The family currently lives in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Their daughter Alana Martina was born in 2017, while their younger daughter Bella was born in 2022 alongside a twin brother who sadly died shortly after birth.
Ronaldo remains one of football’s most decorated players, having represented Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al-Nassr, and Portugal. He has won the Ballon d’Or five times and has scored close to 1,000 career goals.
The Portugal captain joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr in 2022 and is contracted to remain with the club until 2027. He has also represented Portugal at a record six men’s World Cups.
Ronaldo’s wealth has also reached unprecedented levels for a footballer, with the Bloomberg Billionaires Index previously estimating his fortune at around US$1.4 billion.
