Cristiano Ronaldo has married his longtime partner Georgina Rodriguez in a private civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, according to his management. The 41-year-old Portuguese football star and Rodríguez, 32, have been together for nearly a decade and kept the wedding away from the public eye after months of speculation about when they would tie the knot.
Ronaldo later confirmed the marriage on Instagram by sharing a photo of their hands displaying their wedding bands, accompanied by the caption, “C (heart) G”. The wedding took place exactly a year after Rodriguez announced their engagement on August 11, 2025, marking a major milestone in their long-running relationship.
