At Cristiano Ronaldo’s home, dinner doesn’t begin with a prayer. It begins with Beyoncé.
On August 14, 2021, Cristiano and Georgina Rodríguez posted a video on Instagram showing the ritual they repeat before sitting down at the table: they play the beginning of the music video for “If I Were a Boy” on the television, and each member of the family says out loud one of the six words the song opens with — intimacy, honesty, commitment, you, me, us. When the round is over, the children shout “time to eat!” and everyone applauds.
Cristiano Jr., the twins Mateo and Eva María, and little Alana Martina take part in the ritual with the same energy. A way to connect before the first bite that, without a doubt, borrowed the idea from a pop diva. Does your family have any similar ritual before eating? 🍽️
