Cristiano Ronaldo announces marriage to Georgina Rodriguez in Portugal

Cristiano Ronaldo, the world’s most followed athlete on social media, and his longtime partner Georgina Rodriguez married on Tuesday in a ceremony in the Portuguese resort of Cascais, the football superstar’s representatives said.

The wedding capped a decade-long relationship and came after days of intense media speculation in Portugal over the location and timing of the ceremony.

Ronaldo, 41, shared a photo of the couple’s hands with their wedding bands and the caption: “C [heart] G” on his Instagram account.

The couple’s five children attended the “private and intimate” ceremony, the Brunswick Group, which handles the player’s public relations, told the AFP news agency.

The couple tied the knot exactly one year after Rodriguez, a 32-year-old influencer, announced their engagement on Instagram.

Ronaldo, who played for Portugal at the World Cup this summer, where they exited in the last 16, currently plays for Saudi club Al-Nassr.

The former Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus forward won the Ballon d’Or for the world’s best player five times.

Rodriguez boosted her own profile by starring in a Netflix show called I am Georgina, which chronicles the family’s life between football, fashion and travel.
