Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are officially married. The longtime couple tied the knot on August 11, 2026, in Cascais, Portugal, in a private civil ceremony confirmed by Ronaldo’s representatives. The wedding came after roughly a decade together and exactly one year after Rodríguez announced their engagement.
The ceremony was intentionally intimate rather than a huge public spectacle. Their five children attended, and Ronaldo and Rodríguez announced the milestone by sharing a photograph of their wedding bands. The marriage brought a new chapter to one of football’s most recognizable relationships after years of engagement speculation.
Cristiano Ronaldo Gets Married
Ronaldo married Rodríguez on Tuesday, August 11, in a civil ceremony in Cascais, a coastal area west of Lisbon. His management confirmed the wedding to Reuters, ending years of questions about whether the couple planned to formalize their relationship. The location also kept the marriage in Ronaldo’s home country despite his current football career being based in Saudi Arabia with Al Nassr. Rather than holding an enormous celebrity wedding surrounded by international media, the couple chose what their representatives described as a private ceremony, allowing one of the world’s most famous athletes to mark the occasion relatively quietly.
Cristiano Ronaldo Chooses Cascais
Cascais provided the setting for Ronaldo and Rodríguez’s civil ceremony. The Portuguese coastal town lies near Lisbon and is known for being an affluent seaside destination, making it a suitably discreet location for a couple accustomed to intense public attention. AP reported that the ceremony was described by Ronaldo’s public relations team as a private and intimate moment. The announcement did not reveal a large celebrity guest list or elaborate public festivities. Keeping the verified details limited is important because speculation about Ronaldo’s wedding location had already caused confusion days earlier, when fans mistakenly gathered at another wedding in Madeira.
Georgina Rodríguez Says Yes
The marriage came exactly one year after Rodríguez publicly announced that she and Ronaldo were engaged. On August 11, 2025, she posted an image displaying a large diamond ring and confirmed that she had accepted his proposal. The engagement followed many years in which fans had repeatedly wondered whether Ronaldo and Rodríguez would eventually marry. Their decision to wed on the anniversary of that announcement gave the date additional meaning. The proposal itself had remained private until Rodríguez chose to share the ring, much like the eventual wedding, which was completed quietly before the couple confirmed it publicly.
Cristiano Ronaldo Shares the Rings
Ronaldo and Rodríguez marked their new status by posting a simple image of their hands wearing wedding bands. The joint announcement avoided the kind of large photo release or heavily produced celebrity wedding spread that fans might have expected from such a famous couple. Instead, the rings became the central image confirming the marriage. According to AP, the photograph was shared on their Instagram accounts after the ceremony. People later reported that Ronaldo captioned the image with their initials and a heart. The understated announcement matched the private nature of the civil ceremony itself.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s Five Children Attend
The ceremony was a family occasion, with the couple’s five children in attendance. Ronaldo’s family includes Cristiano Jr., twins Eva and Mateo, and daughters Alana and Bella. Rodríguez and Ronaldo have built a blended family during their relationship, and she has played an important role in raising all of the children. Their family has also experienced tragedy: in 2022, Ronaldo and Rodríguez announced the death of their newborn son Ángel, Bella’s twin brother. The presence of their children at the wedding reinforced how different this milestone was from the beginning of their romance roughly a decade earlier.
Georgina Rodríguez Meets Ronaldo
Ronaldo and Rodríguez’s relationship began after they met in Madrid while she was working in retail. Accounts generally place the beginning of their relationship around 2016 or 2017, with Reuters describing them as having been together since 2016 and People noting their public relationship from 2017. Rodríguez later became internationally famous in her own right through modeling, social media and the Netflix reality series I Am Georgina. What began as a private romance gradually became one of the most photographed relationships in sport, yet the couple still waited roughly a decade before getting married.
Cristiano Ronaldo Waits 10 Years
Marriage rumors followed Ronaldo and Rodríguez for years, particularly because they openly built a family together long before becoming husband and wife. The engagement announcement in 2025 finally provided a clear indication that marriage was planned. Even then, the couple did not immediately announce a date or large ceremony. Their eventual civil wedding roughly ten years into the relationship fits the slower pace they had taken with formal milestones. The timing also came at an unusually busy point in Ronaldo’s professional life, following another World Cup appearance and shortly before the beginning of Al Nassr’s domestic season.
Georgina Rodríguez After the Wedding
Rodríguez gave fans a glimpse of her post-wedding mood two days later when she shared a photograph wearing bridal white and displaying her large engagement ring. The image was not identified as her actual civil-ceremony wedding outfit, so it should not be confused with an official bridal portrait from the ceremony. The wedding itself remained largely private. That distinction matters because the lack of released ceremony photographs has encouraged speculation about what she wore. What is confirmed is the marriage, the Cascais location, the attendance of their children and the wedding-band image shared by the newlyweds themselves.
