Georgina Rodríguez was 21 years old when she met Cristiano Ronaldo behind the counter of a Gucci store in Madrid.

Nine years later, on August 11, 2026, they said ‘I do’ in an intimate civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, with their five children as witnesses: 16-year-old Cristiano Jr., 9-year-old Eva María and Mateo, 8-year-old Alana, and 4-year-old Bella. The couple confirmed it with a photo of their intertwined hands and new wedding bands, alongside a simple ‘C❤️G’.

While media outlets in Portugal and the United Kingdom chased a wedding rumor in Madeira that never existed, they chose the discretion Georgina had always said she wanted. A year earlier, on that same date, she had announced their engagement with the words ‘in this and all my lives.’ Ten years of waiting, she said with a laugh, were well worth a huge ring. 💍
