Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo has married his longtime partner Georgina Rodríguez in a private civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, on Tuesday, August 11, 2026.
The 41-year-old footballer and 32-year-old model confirmed the marriage in a joint Instagram post showing their hands wearing gold wedding bands.
Ronaldo and Georgina Confirm Marriage
The couple shared the photograph with the caption “C❤️G”, which quickly attracted millions of likes from fans around the world.
Ronaldo’s representatives also confirmed that the pair were married in a civil ceremony attended by their five children.
The ceremony was described as a private and intimate family occasion, with no details of a large celebration or major guest list disclosed.
Couple Have Been Together for a Decade
Ronaldo and Rodríguez began their relationship in 2016 after meeting at a Gucci store in Madrid, where Rodríguez was working at the time while Ronaldo played for Real Madrid.
They have since built a blended family of five children: Cristiano Jr., twins Eva Maria and Mateo, Alana Martina, and Bella Esmeralda.
Rodríguez announced their engagement on August 11, 2025, exactly one year before the wedding, by sharing a photograph of her large diamond ring and writing, “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Private Ceremony Ends Wedding Speculation
The marriage follows months of speculation about where and when the couple would wed.
Recent rumours suggested that the ceremony would take place in Funchal, Ronaldo’s hometown on the Portuguese island of Madeira. The reports even attracted crowds to a cathedral, although an unrelated local wedding was taking place there.
The couple instead chose Cascais, a coastal resort town west of Lisbon where they own a villa.
Ronaldo, who plays for Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr, has largely kept his family life private despite his global profile.

The wedding has already generated widespread reactions from football fans and Rodríguez’s followers, with many celebrating the couple’s decision to keep the occasion focused on their family.
