- By Anthony Nlebem

RUMOURS are swirling that Cristiano Ronaldo and his longtime girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, are set to get married.

The Al Nassr star and the Spanish model have been together since 2016, and their love story began at a Gucci store in Madrid, where they first met. This chance encounter sparked a relationsh­ip that has blossomed over the years.

The couple now shares a happy life with their five children, as reported by Essentiall­y Sports.

Despite Ronaldo’s previous hesitance to discuss marriage, his recent comments suggest he may be reconsider­ing. In a candid 2022 interview with Piers Morgan, the football legend hinted at matrimonia­l plans, stating, “Marriage is something that’s not in my plans now, but in the future, I do want to. I can see in the future that I think I deserve it; she deserves it.”

During his conversati­on with Anthony Joshua, Ronaldo sparked further intrigue by referring to Rodriguez as his wife: “My wife, she’s half Spanish and Argentinia­n, and she’s Latina,” Ronaldo said, indicating a possible shift in their relationsh­ip status.

While no official reports confirm that Ronaldo and Rodriguez have already married, signs point toward an impending wedding. Their appearance at a recent boxing match between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury also fueled whispers of a forthcomin­g nuptial celebratio­n.

Fans and media alike eagerly await an official announceme­nt from the couple, who have become one of the most beloved duos in the sports and entertainm­ent world. Ronaldo’s shift in attitude towards marriage, as evidenced by his comments before moving to the Middle East, has only heightened the anticipati­on.

Though there are no reports of Ronaldo and Georgina already being married, the possibilit­y of their wedding happening soon seems likely.

Hints of their marriage were also noted during their attendance at the recent boxing match between Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury.
