Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has married his longtime partner, model and influencer Georgina Rodríguez, in a civil ceremony in Portugal.
The Portuguese striker posted an image on his Instagram account showing two hands, presumed to be his on top of his wife’s, both wearing wedding rings.
Calling it the wedding of the year, Portuguese media say the couple tied the knot on August 11 in the coastal town of Cascais near Lisbon – and that their five children attended.
The Instagram entry had more than three million likes within 30 minutes of being posted.
The couple have been together for ten years, after they met at a Gucci shop in Madrid where Rodríguez was working. He was playing at the Spanish club Real Madrid at the time.
They announced their engagement on August 11 last year, with Rodríguez posting a picture of a huge diamond ring, writing “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives” in her native Spanish.
Ronaldo has five children in total, two of whom he shares with Rodríguez.
She has also helped to raise his other three children, and the family currently live in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh.
The couple’s first daughter together, Alana Martina, was born in 2017. Their youngest daughter Bella was born in April 2022, alongside a twin brother, who died. (BBC)
