Cristiano Ronaldo marries long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez

Cristiano Ronaldo has married long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez, formalizing their relationship following the Portuguese captain's final World Cup appearance at Qatar 2022. The couple, who have been together since 2016, exchanged vows in a significant personal milestone that comes after Ronaldo's illustrious 20-year international career. The Al Nassr forward, who has scored 141 goals for Portugal across 200 international appearances, brought closure to one chapter while opening another in his personal life.

Ronaldo and Rodríguez's relationship has been documented throughout the athlete's tenure at top European clubs including Real Madrid, where he won four Champions League titles, and Manchester United. The couple shares two children together and Rodríguez, an Argentine model and television personality, has been a constant presence supporting Ronaldo's career endeavors. Their decision to marry comes during a transformative period in the footballer's life, as he transitioned from European football to the Saudi Pro League in 2023, signing a lucrative contract reportedly worth €500 million over two and a half years.

The marriage represents a new chapter for Ronaldo as he concentrates on his club commitments with Al Nassr while potentially remaining involved in Portugal's football activities. At 38 years old, Ronaldo continues to maintain elite athletic standards and recently achieved his 895th career goal milestone across all competitions. With his international retirement following Qatar 2022—where Portugal reached the quarterfinals—the footballer's marriage to Rodríguez signals his commitment to building a stable personal foundation while pursuing continued sporting excellence in the Middle East and potential managerial or ambassadorial roles in football's future.
