Cristiano Ronaldo ties the knot with long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez

Cristiano Ronaldo has tied the knot with long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez on August 11, 2026, as the player announced it on social media.

The pair married in a private civil ceremony in Cascais in Portugal, and thus have entered a new chapter as husband and wife.

The intimate event, attended solely by their five children, was confirmed by Ronaldo’s representatives and marked by a joint Instagram post featuring their gold wedding bands captioned “CG.”The couple, who first met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid where Rodríguez worked as a sales assistant, had been together for nearly a decade. Their engagement was announced exactly one year earlier, on August 11, 2025, when Rodríguez shared a photograph of a substantial diamond ring. The wedding itself remained low-key, deliberately avoiding the public speculation that had drawn crowds to Funchal Cathedral in Madeira days earlier on the basis of reports.

Ronaldo, 41, recently completed his record-tying sixth FIFA World Cup appearance for Portugal and is preparing for the new Saudi Pro League season with Al Nassr. The ceremony took place just days before the club’s campaign begins. Officials described it as “a private and intimate moment,” underscoring the couple’s preference for family privacy over spectacle.

This union formalizes a relationship that has been highly visible yet carefully managed. After years of shared life across Spain, Italy, England and Saudi Arabia, the pair chose a simple civil ceremony focused on their children. Fans and the wider football community have offered congratulations as good wishes have poured in since Ronaldo announced his new journey.

The marriage concludes a decade-long journey that began in a Madrid boutique and has since become one of the most closely followed relationships in world sport.
