France legend Zinedine Zidane head-butting Italy’s Marco Materazzi in the 2006 World Cup final is one of the most bizarre yet memorable images in modern soccer. Materazzi later revealed that she insulted Zidane’s sister during a trashy exchange and instigated him. People most often take insults about them on the chin. But when their family is mocked, they take it personally. Cristiano Ronaldo‘s wife Georgina Rodriguez is no outlier either.

Being an influencer and supermodel, Georgina is habitual to conveniently ignoring her naysayers. She even believes that critics at times have reasons. But she can’t take it when they speak ill of fellow influencer and sister Ivana Rodriguez. “You should have seen the people who were criticizing me. There’s something worth criticizing,” said Georgina Rodriguez in the second episode of I am Georgina season three on Netflix.

“It hurts me more when they go after my sister or my family than when they go after me,” she added.

During the biographical docuseries, Cristiano Ronaldo’s WAG also said that her sister Ivana seldom fails to have her back in front of naysayers. And so she prefers that the critics attack her and leave her family out. “I’d prefer they insult me because I don’t give a sh**t,” Georgina added.

Georgina’s older sister meanwhile, has always been keen on giving the best of support to her and Cristiano Ronaldo. Let’s dive a bit deeper into the wonderful equation between the Spanish sisters and the Portugal captain.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina leaned on Ivana’s shoulders during the pain

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina had tragically lost their son Angel during childbirth in 2022. Ronaldo has time and again stated that it was the most devastating moment in his life since the passing of his father. When the family was grieving, Ivana Rodriguez, who resides in Gijon, Spain, rushed to Manchester to the Ronaldo household and comforted the bereaved couple. Other than Ivana, CR7’s close friend and Spanish journalist Edu Aguirre was also there in Manchester to console him and Georgina.

The Spanish model earlier said she has become hardened to criticism. But just like her, her sister won’t take these insults on the chin. She never ceases to fire back at the ones who make fun of Ronaldo’s WAG. Georgina has famously shared vacation pictures with CR7 and their kids on social media.

When she shared bikini-clad pictures from a beach outing, many mocked her, saying she gained weight. Ivana stormed to the social handle and asked haters to shut up, citing her sister had just given birth.

So, onward goes the healthy sisterhood between Gio and Ivana. Ronaldo, meanwhile, also has siblings who would go to war for him. Accustomed to winning big in their professions, the Al Nassr star and Georgina also have a successful and happy family.
