Is it finally time for Cristiano Ronaldo to get married? The Portuguese icon’s partner, Georgina Rodriguez, has recently provided an update that could very well indicate a new journey for the couple. “[Marriage is] something that’s not in my plans now, but in the future, I do want to,” said Ronaldo in a 2022 Piers Morgan interview. Well, is that “future” finally here?

Rodriguez and Ronaldo started dating in 2017 and have five children, two of whom they had together. In the same interview with Piers Morgan, the Al-Nassr star said, “I can see in the future that I think I deserve it, she deserves it.” Ronaldo has revealed on multiple occasions that as important as soccer is to him, his family comes first. While he, Georgina, and their kids are already a family, the Spanish model’s recent Instagram activity sparked rumors that they might make it official! And soon.

In her recent Instagram story, Georgina posted a picture of what looked like a celebratory invitation with “Announcement” written on top. Right in the center was the love letter emoticon (a white envelope with a love heart). Below the envelope, the card read, “& Georgina Rodriguez.” And below that was a date, time, and location. Their wedding details, perhaps?

Printed on the invitation-like card was, 2024, Tue, 05, MAR at 7:00 PM, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.” The couple and their family moved to Saudi after Ronaldo signed a $200 million-a-year deal with Al-Nassr in December 2022. With both of them thriving in their own accords, Georgina’s “announcement” could point to a significant event in both her and Ronaldo’s lives. But whether or not it’s marriage is still a mystery.

 

Ronaldo’s relationship with Georgina started after the five-time Ballon d’Or winner broke up with former model girlfriend Irina Shayk. CR7 then met Georgina at a Gucci store in Madrid in 2016, where she was working as a shop assistant. After they started dating in 2017, they welcomed their first child that November. Since they got together, they’ve been inseparable. So much so that Georgina believes they’re already like a married couple.

As reported by The Sun, she said, “I really couldn’t be more married. Cristiano and I are married in the eyes of God, that’s all that matters to me. He protects us and keeps us together. One day though, a ceremony will follow.” Could that one day be March 5, 2024? While we wait for the announcement, one thing’s for certain: Whether or not they tie the knot, they’ll be there for each other, just like they have been all these years.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have stuck together through thick and thin

Last year, Ronaldo and his love had to experience one of the toughest moments of their lives. In October 2021, the couple announced they were expecting twins – a girl and a boy. However, in April 2022, while Baby Bella was born healthy, her brother Angel passed away. They wrote, “It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.”

They’ve been there for each other at the lowest. But they’ve also lifted each other up time and again. And one of those instances came at Paris Fashion Week. Georgina wore a dress inspired by Ronaldo’s iconic Manchester United #7 jersey. On the back was a written message from Ronaldo that read, “For the love of my life Gio x Vetements. Cristiano Ronaldo.”
