Cristiano Ronaldo Marries Georgina Rodriguez in Cascais Ceremony
Published on August 12, 2026
Cristiano Ronaldo, the world’s most followed athlete on social media, wed his longtime partner Georgina Rodriguez on Tuesday in a private ceremony at the elite resort of Cascais, Portugal, according to the football star’s representatives.
The wedding marks the culmination of a decade-long relationship and follows days of speculation regarding the ceremony’s location and timing in Portuguese media.
Ronaldo, 41, shared a photograph on Instagram featuring their hands adorned with wedding bands, accompanied by the caption: “C [heart] G.” The couple’s five children were present at the intimate event, as confirmed by the Brunswick Group, the public relations firm representing Ronaldo.
Rodriguez, 32, announced their engagement on Instagram exactly one year prior to the wedding. The couple first met in 2016 when Rodriguez was working at a Gucci store in Madrid, a moment she has recalled as “love at first sight.”
Ronaldo, who recently played for Portugal at the World Cup, where the team was eliminated in the round of 16, currently plays for Saudi club Al-Nassr. He has won the Ballon d’Or five times, recognizing him as the world’s best player.
Rodriguez has increased her public profile through her Netflix series, I am Georgina, which showcases their family life intertwined with football, fashion, and travel.
Prior to the wedding, Portuguese media entries speculated that the ceremony might take place in locations such as Sintra or Funchal, the latter being Ronaldo’s birthplace. Funchal’s cathedral attracted hundreds of spectators last weekend, anticipating a wedding that was later confirmed not to be scheduled.
The couple ultimately chose Cascais, approximately 30 kilometers (19 miles) west of Lisbon, where they own a villa. Together, Ronaldo and Rodriguez have garnered over 750 million followers across social media platforms, establishing one of the world’s most recognizable celebrity partnerships while expanding their investments into fashion brands and a hotel chain.
