Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have officially married in Portugal, according to public announcements and social media confirmations from the couple and close associates. The ceremony took place in Cascais, as reported by Diário de Notícias, ending years of widespread media speculation surrounding the formalization of their relationship.
The Cascais Wedding Ceremony and Public Confirmation
The civil ceremony in Cascais marks the formal union of a couple whose relationship began in the summer of 2016 in Madrid, according to reporting by Diário de Notícias. Rumors regarding a summer wedding had circulated for months, though initial speculation incorrectly pointed toward the island of Madeira.
Georgina Rodríguez announced the engagement on social media exactly one year prior to the wider public celebrations, sharing a photograph of the ring in Riyadh, where the family resides. She wrote, “Yes, I want to. In this and in all my lives,” alongside a tag for the Saudi capital, as noted in primary records.
Celebrity Reactions and Well-Wishes
British journalist Piers Morgan shared congratulations via X, writing, “Congrats to my friends @Cristiano & Georgina on their wedding today in Portugal! They’re a great couple, and I wish them a long and happy marriage together.”
Additional public figures reacted directly to social media announcements regarding the marriage. Athletes including Telma Monteiro, Fernando Pimenta, and Marcelo (ex-jogador do Real Madrid) left comments of approval. Portuguese actress Margarida Corceiro, Inês Degener Tomaz (wife of Bernardo Silva), television presenter Cristina Ferreira, vice-presidente de conteúdos da Bauer Media Pedro Ribeiro, fadista Gisela João, and television host Maria Cerqueira Gomes also offered public congratulations.

Georgina Rodríguez and Cristiano Ronaldo first met in 2016 when the athlete visited a Gucci store in Madrid where she worked as a sales assistant, a meeting later detailed in Netflix programming and newspaper interviews.
A Decade of Shared Family Life
The wedding solidifies a domestic partnership spanning nearly ten years. After meeting in Madrid, the couple made their relationship public at a FIFA gala in January 2017. Their family expanded across multiple cities as Ronaldo’s football career took them from Madrid to Turin, Manchester, and Riyadh.
Alongside Cristiano Jr., born in 2010, and twins Eva and Mateo, born via surrogate in 2017, the family welcomed Alana Martina later that year as the couple’s first biological child. In 2022, Georgina gave birth to daughter Bella Esmeralda, while her twin brother tragically passed away during childbirth. Rodríguez frequently notes in public statements that she treats all five children as her own.
