Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez are officially married after decade-long romance
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have finally tied the knot.
The pair dropped the bombshell in a joint-Instagram post on Tuesday evening which flaunted their matching gold rings.
Ronaldo and Georgina started dating in 2016
It was captioned “C♥G” and surpassed a million likes in a matter of minutes.
The civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, was described as ‘private and intimate’ by the Daily Mail.
The pair’s five children – two of whom are biologically Georgina’s – were all in attendance.
One of the football star’s representatives told the Mail: “Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez were married today in a civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, and are now officially husband and wife.
“The ceremony was a private and intimate moment attended by their five children.”
The comments section on their Instagram post was chock-full of adoring fans.
One wrote: “We love you guys.”
Another joked: “Who is cutting onions?”
And a third chimed in with: “Wishing you both a happy life together.”
A year on from their engagement, there were rumblings in recent weeks of Georgina, 32, and Ronaldo, 41, finally scheduling their big day.
Thousands of fans gathered outside a cathedral in Funchal over the weekend, on Ronaldo’s home island of Madeira, hoping to catch a glimpse of the couple.
But the newlyweds instead opted for the chic coastal town of Cascais, around 20 miles west of Lisbon.
Ronaldo and Georgina’s marriage was a decade in the making, having met at a Gucci shop in Madrid in 2016.
Georgina was earning £10 an hour as an employee there at the time – and being whisked off in Ronaldo’s Bugatti after work.
They went public with their relationship in 2017, welcomed twins Mateo and Eva via surrogacy later that year, and then Georgina gave birth to her first biological daughter, Alana Martina, who is now eight years old.
In 2022 they welcomed Bella Esmeralda to the family but her twin brother, Angel, tragically died during childbirth.
Mateo, Eva, Alana Martina, Bella Esmeralda and Ronaldo’s eldest son, Cristiano Jr, are all brought up under one roof.
Ronaldo popped the question last year and presented Georgina with a whopping great diamond engagement ring.
And the five-time Ballon d’Or winner offered a hint that their wedding would not be a grand show of public affection when discussing their plans.
He revealed: “We plan to do it after the World Cup with the trophy! But she is not the person that likes big parties. She doesn’t like it. She likes private things. So I will respect these decisions.
“One thing that I love, she didn’t care about the ring.
“She asked me if I was honest and I said, ‘I want you and I want to marry you.’ I didn’t cry but I had tears in my eyes.”
