Cristiano Ronaldo Marries Georgina Rodríguez, After 10-Year Romance

Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has married his longtime partner, model and influencer Georgina Rodríguez, in a private civil ceremony in Portugal, marking a major new chapter in the couple’s decade-long relationship.

Ronaldo shared the news with his millions of followers on Instagram by posting a photograph showing two hands wearing wedding rings, with his hand resting on what appears to be Georgina’s. The simple post quickly went viral, reportedly receiving more than 3 million likes within 30 minutes.

Portuguese media have described the occasion as the “wedding of the year”, reporting that the couple exchanged vows on 11 August in Cascais, the coastal town near Lisbon. Their five children are also reported to have attended the private ceremony.

Ronaldo and Georgina complete a decade-long love story

Ronaldo and Georgina have been together for around 10 years. The pair first met in Madrid when Georgina was working at a Gucci store. Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid at the time.

Their relationship gradually became one of the most followed celebrity romances in the world, with the couple regularly sharing glimpses of their family life on social media.

The couple announced their engagement on 11 August 2025, exactly a year before their reported wedding.

At the time, Georgina shared a photograph of her engagement ring and wrote in Spanish, “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”

Five children reportedly attended the wedding

The couple's family was reportedly present for the intimate ceremony in Cascais.

Ronaldo and Georgina have built a family together while raising their children away from much of the spotlight. Georgina has also played an important role in the upbringing of Ronaldo's children.

The wedding therefore represents another significant milestone in a relationship that has remained under intense global media attention for years.

From Real Madrid superstar to global football icon

Ronaldo's wedding comes during another remarkable period in his football career.

The Portuguese forward has scored nearly 1,000 goals during a career spanning some of the biggest clubs in world football, including Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and Al Nassr, as well as the Portugal national team.

He recently appeared at his sixth FIFA World Cup, matching Lionel Messi's record for the most appearances at the men's World Cup finals.

At 41, Ronaldo continues to remain one of the biggest names in global sport, while his personal life with Georgina has attracted almost as much attention as his achievements on the pitch.

Why Ronaldo and Georgina's wedding is trending worldwide

The couple's enormous global following helped the wedding announcement spread rapidly across social media. Rather than releasing a large collection of photographs, Ronaldo chose a simple image featuring the couple's wedding rings, leaving fans eager for more details about the ceremony.

The private nature of the event has only added to the interest surrounding what Portuguese media have dubbed the wedding of the year.
