Cristiano Ronaldo married long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez on August 11, 2026, in a private civil ceremony held at their villa in Cascais, Portugal, an upscale seaside resort about 30 km west of Lisbon where the couple owns property [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The intimate event was attended only by Ronaldo, Rodriguez, and their five children [1, 2, 3].

The 41-year-old football star and 32-year-old influencer and Netflix personality have been together for a decade, meeting in Madrid in 2016 when Rodriguez worked at a Gucci store [1, 2, 3, 5]. Rodriguez described their first meeting as feeling "a sense of peace and an inexplicable energy as if we had known each other forever" [2].

They announced their engagement exactly one year prior on August 11, 2025, sharing the news on Instagram [1, 2]. Ronaldo shared a photo early on August 12 showing the couple’s hands wearing wedding rings captioned "C (heart) G," which gained 15 million likes within five hours [1, 6, 7].

Portuguese media had speculated the wedding would be in Sintra or Ronaldo’s birthplace of Funchal, but it was confirmed they wed in Cascais [3, 4]. On August 8, false rumors of a secret wedding in Funchal caused crowds and confusion at the local cathedral [8, 9].

Ronaldo, a five-time Ballon d’Or winner with nearly 1,000 career goals, currently plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia and recently participated in his sixth World Cup where Portugal exited in the last 16 stage [1, 2, 3, 10, 11]. Rodriguez stars in the Netflix show "I Am Georgina" and together the couple have over 750 million social media followers and various business investments including fashion and hotels [2, 3, 4, 10].

The couple’s five children, including twins born in 2017 and Ronaldo’s 16-year-old son from a previous relationship, attended the ceremony [6, 7, 10]. Ronaldo said he planned to marry after the World Cup but before the Saudi Pro League season started, balancing personal milestones with his professional calendar [8, 9, 11].

Portugal’s Al-Nassr Saudi Pro League season begins four days after the wedding, on August 15, 2026 [11].
