Cascais hosts intimate wedding for Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have officially married in an intimate civil ceremony held in Cascais, Portugal. The wedding took place on August 11, 2026, nearly a decade after the couple first met. The news was confirmed through a joint Instagram post by the couple, featuring them in white attire and displaying their wedding rings.
The ceremony was a private affair, with a focus on family, and was attended by their five children. This event occurred exactly one year after Georgina Rodríguez announced their engagement on August 11, 2025. The couple chose to keep the details private, avoiding a large public celebration.
Family at the Center of the Celebration
The family played a central role in the wedding, with all five children present at the private ceremony. These include Cristiano Jr., twins Eva and Mateo, Alana Martina, and Bella Esmeralda. Alana Martina was welcomed by the couple in 2017. In 2022, they welcomed twins, though their son Ángel passed away shortly after birth, while his twin sister Bella survived.
Georgina Rodríguez has been actively involved in raising Ronaldo’s older children. Their family life is often showcased on social media and in Rodríguez’s Netflix series, I Am Georgina. The couple’s journey began when they met in Madrid, where Rodríguez was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store. Their relationship became public in 2017, and they have since built their life together as Ronaldo’s football career took him to various clubs across Spain, Italy, and Saudi Arabia.
Rodríguez has also established her own career as a model, entrepreneur, and reality television personality. After years of building their family life, the couple has now taken this significant step in their relationship.
Previous Speculation and Recent Events
Before their engagement announcement, Ronaldo had occasionally referred to Rodríguez as his “wife,” leading to earlier speculation about a private marriage. However, the recent Instagram post provided the first clear confirmation from the couple themselves that they are officially married.
The wedding followed an unusual incident in Portugal just days prior. On August 8, rumors of Ronaldo and Rodríguez’s wedding at Funchal Cathedral in Madeira led hundreds of people to gather outside the venue. It was later revealed that the wedding taking place belonged to another couple, allowing Ronaldo and Rodríguez to hold their own ceremony away from public attention.
Ronaldo, at 41, tied the knot just four days before his club, Al Nassr, is set to begin their 2026-27 Saudi Pro League campaign. His career has seen him score nearly 1,000 goals while playing for clubs such as Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al Nassr, as well as for the Portugal national team.
He recently participated in his sixth World Cup, sharing the record with Lionel Messi for the most appearances in the men’s finals. Earlier this summer, Ronaldo confirmed that he had played his last World Cup game, but stated he would not make any “rash decisions” regarding his future with the Portugal national team. He expressed sadness at leaving the World Cup, noting he gave his all and did his best. He also reflected on his 23 years with the national team, during which Portugal won three titles, including the Euros in 2016.
Ronaldo will be 43 by the time the next major tournament, the 2028 European Championships in the UK and Ireland, takes place. Currently, his focus is on the upcoming season with Al Nassr, which is now managed by former Tottenham, Celtic, and Nottingham Forest head coach Ange Postecoglou. The couple’s relationship became public in 2017.
