August 11, 2026, marked a historic day for one of the most discussed couples in the worlds of sports and show business. Legendary Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and model Georgina Rodriguez officially tied the knot. The couple, who have been in a relationship for nearly a decade, held an intimate wedding in Cascais, Portugal. The ceremony took place in a private format, described by the couple's representatives as an "intimate moment" for the family.
Event Details and Guests
The wedding of the 41-year-old Cristiano and the 32-year-old Georgina did not turn into a large-scale social event, despite the groom's status. The event was held in a closed format, allowing the couple to focus on their personal emotions. Only the closest people were present at the celebration — specifically, the five children of Ronaldo and Rodriguez. After the ceremony, the footballer posted a romantic shot on social media showing the hands of the spouses with gold wedding rings, confirming the fact of marriage.
Love Story and Path to the Altar
The relationship between Cristiano and Georgina began in 2016, when the model worked as a saleswoman in a Gucci store. Their romance evolved into a serious relationship, which the world learned about in January 2017, when the couple first appeared together in public in Zurich. In the spring of the same year, Ronaldo confirmed their relationship by posting a joint photo on social media. Exactly one year ago, on August 11, 2025, the couple announced their engagement: Georgina showed her followers her hand with a huge ring featuring an oval diamond. For a long time, the footballer did not rush to propose, explaining this by waiting for a "special moment".
Family Chronicle and Tragedy
The spouses are raising five children. These are 16-year-old Cristiano Jr. (the identity of whose mother the footballer keeps secret), 9-year-old twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8-year-old Alana Martina, and 4-year-old Bella Esmeralda. The family suffered a heavy loss in 2022: during the birth of the twins, their son Angel passed away, while his sister Bella survived. Ronaldo and Rodriguez publicly announced the loss of the newborn in April.
Contradictory Data
There were discrepancies in the media regarding the wedding date. While official confirmations and social media posts indicate August 11, 2026, as the date of marriage, a number of sources, including the portal rosbalt.ru, previously reported that the wedding was scheduled for August 8. There were also rumors that the celebration might be postponed or split into several stages (civil and religious ceremonies). However, judging by the published photos and statements by the couple's representatives, the main act of marriage registration took place on August 11 in Cascais.
