Cristiano Ronaldo and his longtime partner Georgina Rodrguez got married on Friday, 18 August 21522. That means it has been a decade between them and they now are an official couple. They were united in a civil union ceremony that is a bit more secretive and personal in nature, where only their five kids attended. This couple always keeps their matters private, even though they are both celebrities worldwide who receive a lot of attention from the media. Cristiano Ronaldo, aged 41 now, revealed this joyful occurrence with a very modest photo uploaded to Instagram. It captured the couple’s hands, his hand lightly on hers, both sporting similar yellow-gold polished wedding rings. “CG” was her comment.
The picture took off, and people were liking it a lot, which speaks to the couple’s great popularity. Ronaldo’s management team, in addition, gave some confirmation on the facts: “The wedding of Cristiano Ronaldo and the former fiance Georgina Rodrguez happened in Portugal at a civil ceremony in Cascais, Because of this, they have entered a relationship contractually. They held the ceremony together for their five kids privately at a time when they were not accompanied by media at all.”
There was definitely a sense of love being celebrated through the union as the wedding took place precisely one year after the couple shared the news of their engagement on 11 August 2025. At that time, besides telling a romantic story, Rodrguez had also shown a picture of a very big diamond ring. The jewellers estimated that the diamond weighed somewhere between 20 and 30 carats, costing the couple several millions of dollars. Besides, she said, in the Spanish language, “S, quiero. En esta y en todas mis vidas.” The main meaning of it is “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives”. It is the love song of a lifetime that the couple shares! Ron and Georgina began meeting about 2016 or 2017 when Rodrguez, a fashion buyer or retail assistant, was one of the employees at a store selling luxury items like Gucci in the city of Madrid. Ronaldo, at the time, was one of the top footballers and was representing Real Madrid in the team.
They began their public relationship in the early part of 2017, and it hasn’t been one smooth ride as they went through some ups and downs. But together, they now take full responsibility for five children who include their eldest daughter Alana Martina, the twins Eva Maria and Mateo, little Bella Esmeralda and the son of the Portuguese legend is 10-year-old Cristiano Jr. The children were under the joint care of the two parents, but Rodrguez is their mummy, the one who has spent most time with them, who knows them deeply, and who helps them get on board life. So she is In fact the one at the centre of raising the kids for all five kids, not just for the children Ronaldo already had before Georgina, but for the ones they conceived together as well.
The press went completely mad as the wedding announcement day was approaching. The only one thing that people really wanted was a big spectacular wedding and probably to be held in the Funchal Cathedral, in Ronaldo’s home island of Madeira that might eventually become a very public and a very special place for millions of fans. Even so, the couple decided not to make a show of it and quietly chose the upscale Cascais, a seaside resort 30 kilometres west of Lisbon. In fact, they have a home there and This way, the location was more or less an obvious choice.
The wedding Yet seems to have been low on the details. Very few things were let out about fashion and venue with the exception that a reporter was able to spot Rodrguez coming home in a white dress after wearing something that looked quite like a wedding garment or maybe it was just another dress for another event. Still, it was an indication, wasn’t it? The newlyweds are living in Arabia nowadays and Ronaldo is still on the field of Saudi Arabia where he serves as captain for Al-Nassr who he also plays in an important position for. Once the wedding is over and done with, the Portugal great is going back to his work and is set to begin his club season on the weekend after a few days rest he is planning.
Such a humble and family-oriented wedding is another milestone for this couple who is among the most popular in the world. After all these years of being under the spotlight, it looks like they have chosen intimacy and privacy instead of grandeur and popularity. This couple definitely deserves to live their dream love story on a daily level.
