Earlier this year, Netflix released the ‘I am Georgina‘ docuseries based on Georgina Rodriguez’s life. It has a total of six episodes and was released in January 2022. In the first episode of the documentary, she discussed her first meeting with CR7 and his son, Cristiano Jr.

“When I’m leaving the store, I see a very handsome man here. Almost two meters tall. He was with a boy and some friends. And I stand frozen. Junior (Cristiano Jr.) stands in front of me,” Georgina said.

She continued: “So it was funny, you know [laughs]. Like the kid, it said ‘Hi’ to me. Of course, to a young girl, pretty. I started feeling butterflies in my stomach and said ‘Huh, what’s going on with me?’. So I didn’t even wanna look at him. I was very shy.”

It has all been uphill for Georgina ever since that day. The two met each other again a few days later at a Dolce & Gabbana event in Madrid. In a spark of fate, the two clicked, and they have been in a relationship ever since. The following year, Georgina gave birth to their daughter, Alana.
