Just married! Cristiano Ronaldo finally weds Georgina Rodriguez in quiet civil ceremony in Cascais

The ‍ ‌wait is over! Cristiano Ronaldo finally reveals what makes him happy – a life full of love and happiness alongside his longtime partner Georgina Rodriguez.

Though Cristiano got together with Georgina sometime towards the middle of their relationship in 2016, when they decided to get back together publicly, it took them almost 10 years to finally get married around that time.

The Portuguese soccer star, who is now 41-years-old, was many times the cause of a lot of controversy among football circles because of the nature of his love life, and the list of women who would appear alongside his name was never ‍ ‌‍ ‍‌small.

But this time, he managed to pull one on the world football community and the media by keeping the secret of a very private wedding.

It could be said that this wedding, which took place this Tuesday, August 11, in Cascais, the city where the couple has a home, was perhaps the most anticipated “YESSS” of the year, since it was an intimate civil ceremony attended by their children and close family members.

However, the world was given a present at the end of the civil ceremony. The newlyweds gave a hand to millions of people who were waiting for the photo of the day: their wedding rings, with a simple “C” and “G” in the caption.

This photo, published on the two Instagram accounts of the footballer and the model, had more than four million likes in less than forty minutes.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Rodríguez Keep Their Wedding Private

A wedding can have such an effect that the event itself becomes just a shadow to what people talk and write about beforehand. That’s exactly what happened with

Cristiano Ronaldo; the whole world was so busy watching the stories about his wedding that the act of actually getting married became irrelevant almost instantly.

Although there was a huge crowd of people who had come to wish the couple well, as well as journalists at Funchal, the regional capital, where a few other couples had come to tie the knot, the photographers enjoyed the moment of the couple’s blessing.

Still, among the very few facts that were confirmed and that appeared to be real, there was just the month in which the wedding had taken place.

It really happened in August. However, no one could imagine that it would be a Tuesday and that it would be such a private ceremony.

Lots of the family event was kept private, but the only one publicly admitted fact was – via certain media – that Georgina’s outfit at the wedding consisted of a white dress with long sleeves.

Plainly ‍ put, the marriage of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and model Georgina Rodríguez matched what was in the article perfectly.

What’s more, they were going to get married in mid-2020 – actually, she was the only reason that he decided so.

In conclusion, they did get married in 2026, and before that, they had been dating since they were first together in about 2016, when it happened at a Gucci store in Madrid, with Georgina being a model there ‍ ‌‍ ‍‌then.

Obviously, they were so impressed with each other that they kept talking and dating; anyway, there have also been moments when they have parted ways and then ‍ reunited.

At the beginning, the lovers decided to remain private about the fact that they were in a relationship since they did not want people to know about their personal lives.
