Portugal and football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has married his long-time partner, Georgina Rodriguez, in a private civil ceremony in Portugal.
Ronaldo, 41, and Rodriguez have been together since 2016 after meeting in Madrid. They confirmed their marriage by sharing a photograph on Instagram showing off their wedding rings.
The ceremony took place in Cascais, a coastal resort town about 20 miles west of Lisbon, and was attended by their five children.
The wedding comes just four days before Ronaldo’s club, Al Nassr, begin their 2026-27 Saudi Pro League campaign.
The couple have been together for nearly a decade and often share moments from their family life on social media.
Ronaldo remains one of football’s most prolific goalscorers, with nearly 1,000 goals across spells with Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al Nassr and Portugal.
The wedding follows Ronaldo’s sixth FIFA World Cup appearance, matching Argentina captain Lionel Messi’s record for the most appearances at the men’s tournament.
Ronaldo had confirmed that the 2026 World Cup would be his final appearance, but he has not decided whether to retire from international football.
“I’m sad to be leaving the World Cup like this,” he said. “I gave it my all. I did my best. It was my last World Cup, yes, but I’ll now have time to reflect and be with my family. I won’t be making any rash decisions.
“I don’t decide anything in the heat of the moment. Now is not important whether I will continue.
“I played 23 years in the national team and won three titles. Before Cristiano, Portugal had not won anything. The Euros was the most important. For me, 2016 has the same dimension as a World Cup, honestly.”
