Cristiano Ronaldo marries long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez in Portugal

Cristiano Ronaldo has married his long-time partner, Georgina Rodriguez, in a civil ceremony held in Portugal, according to Sky Sports.

The couple, who began their relationship in 2016 after meeting in Madrid, shared a photograph on Instagram showing their wedding rings.

Ronaldo, 41, got married just four days before his club, Al Nassr, begin their 2026–27 Saudi Pro League campaign.

The ceremony took place in Cascais, a coastal resort town located about 20 miles west of Lisbon, Portugal’s capital. Their five children were reportedly among those who attended the ceremony.

Ronaldo has scored close to 1,000 goals during a career that has seen him represent Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al Nassr and Portugal.

He recently featured in his sixth World Cup, matching Argentina’s Lionel Messi for the record number of appearances at men’s World Cup tournaments.

Earlier in the summer, Ronaldo confirmed that he had played his final World Cup match, although he said he would not make any “rash decisions” about whether he had also made his final appearance for Portugal.

“I’m sad to be leaving the World Cup like this,” he said. “I gave it my all. I did my best. It was my last World Cup, yes, but I’ll now have time to reflect and be with my family. I won’t be making any rash decisions.

“I don’t decide anything in the heat of the moment. Now is not important whether I will continue.

“I played 23 years in the national team and won three titles. Before Cristiano, Portugal had not won anything. The Euros was the most important. For me, 2016 has the same dimension as a World Cup, honestly.”

Ronaldo will turn 43 by the time the next major international tournament, the 2028 European Championship hosted by the UK and Ireland, takes place.

For now, his attention is expected to remain on the upcoming season with Al Nassr, who are now managed by former Tottenham, Celtic and Nottingham Forest coach Ange Postecoglou.
