Last year, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez, one of the world’s most high-profile sports couples, officially announced their engagement after nine years together. Over the years, they have built a large family and are raising five children. Now, as preparations for their wedding gather pace, international media continue to reveal new details about the upcoming celebration. Here’s everything that is known so far.

How their love story began

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez’s love story began in 2016. According to Georgina, they first met while she was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci boutique in Madrid.

From that moment on, their relationship developed quickly. Georgina moved in with the football superstar, and together they built a large family. Both have repeatedly said that family is the most important thing in their lives.

Together, they are raising five children. The couple share two daughters — Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda. Georgina also plays an active role in raising Ronaldo’s three older children — Cristiano Jr. and twins Eva Maria and Mateo.

In August 2025, Georgina announced their engagement by sharing a photo of her stunning diamond engagement ring alongside the caption: «Yes. In this life and in all the lives to come».

When could the wedding take place?

The couple have not yet announced an official wedding date. However, the Daily Mail, citing The Sun, reported that the ceremony is reportedly planned for August 8. Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have not confirmed these reports.

Following their engagement, Ronaldo also told Piers Morgan in an interview that he dreams of getting married after the FIFA World Cup.

«I hope to walk into my own wedding carrying the World Cup trophy», the football star said.

Where could the ceremony take place?

According to British media reports, the couple are planning to marry on the Portuguese island of Madeira — Cristiano Ronaldo’s birthplace.

The wedding ceremony is expected to take place at Funchal Cathedral, a historic church with a history spanning more than 500 years. The location holds special significance for Ronaldo, as it stands close to the hospital where he was born and near the training ground of Nacional, the club where he played as a child.

Earlier, international media had also speculated that the ceremony could be held at the Quinta da Regaleira estate in Sintra.

Where could the celebration be held?

According to The Sun, the wedding reception is expected to take place at the five-star Savoy Palace hotel in Madeira. The newspaper claims that hotel management has already informed guests that two floors and several bars will be temporarily closed on Friday and Saturday due to a private event. So far, however, there has been no official confirmation of these reports.

It is worth noting that Kering, led by François-Henri Pinault, owns such houses as Balenciaga, Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, and Qeelin. The holding company is regarded as one of the primary rivals of Bernard Arnault’s LVMH.

This year’s Venice Film Festival will be remembered not only for its high-profile premieres but also for the striking appearance of Georgina Rodríguez.

It was recently revealed that 40-year-old football legend Cristiano Ronaldo has decided to leave bachelorhood behind – he proposed to his long-time partner, 31-year-old Georgina Rodríguez.

«Yes, I do. In this life – and all the others», wrote a beaming Georgina on social media, alongside a photo showcasing the stunning engagement ring on her finger.

And the ring is truly breathtaking: a massive oval-cut diamond estimated to weigh between 37 and 50 carats, with a value ranging from $2 million to $5 million, according to expert appraisals.

But Ronaldo didn’t stop at the ring. To celebrate the engagement, he surprised Georgina with an entire selection of extravagant gifts, including:

• a white Porsche Taycan worth over $100,000,
• designer pieces from Dior and Louis Vuitton – including handbags and clothing worth around $40,000,
• a Patek Philippe watch valued at $60,000 and an Audemars Piguet worth $70,000.

Altogether, the total cost of the gifts is estimated at $365,000.

It’s worth noting that Georgina had been waiting nearly a decade for this moment. The couple first met in 2016, when she was working at a Gucci boutique in Madrid. Since then, their relationship has become one of the most talked-about in the world of sports and entertainment.

Today, Ronaldo and Rodríguez are raising five children together: two of their own (a daughter and a son), and three from Ronaldo’s previous relationships – all of whom Georgina considers her own.

The wedding is expected to take place no earlier than late 2026 – likely after Ronaldo completes his appearances at the World Cup, where he may take part in one of his final matches for the Portuguese national team.

Cristiano Ronaldo, the 40-year-old football legend, has decided to end his bachelor days — the athlete has proposed to his long-time love, 31-year-old Georgina Rodríguez.

The joyful news came from Georgina’s social media, where she shared a photo of a dazzling engagement ring featuring a large oval-cut diamond, accompanied by the heartfelt caption: «Yes, I do. In this life and in all others.»

According to New York gemologist Olivia Landau, the piece could be worth several million dollars, as the diamond is estimated to weigh over 10, possibly even 15 carats.

Ronaldo and Rodríguez have been together for nine years. They first met in 2016 at a Gucci boutique where she worked — a meeting that changed both of their lives forever. Georgina went from being a sales assistant to becoming an influencer, a red-carpet star, and the subject of her own Netflix show I Am Georgina. She has collaborated with brands such as Gucci, Prada, and Chanel, and later launched her own clothing line.

Despite her glamorous public life, Georgina has often admitted that the center of her universe is her family — a sentiment Cristiano fully supports. The football star has repeatedly said in interviews that Georgina helps him maintain calm and motivation off the pitch.

Today, the couple is raising five children: 15-year-old Cristiano Jr., twins Eva and Mateo, and daughters Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda. The athlete’s three eldest children were born via surrogates, while the two youngest are his and Georgina’s biological daughters. Georgina, however, makes no distinction between «hers» and «his,» loving each child equally.

Cristiano has previously explained why he waited so long to propose. He always had serious intentions, but wanted to find the perfect moment. Now, that moment has finally arrived.

The football star, 40-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo, is in no hurry to say goodbye to his bachelor status, even though he has been in a strong relationship with 31-year-old model Georgina Rodriguez for a long time.

In the Netflix reality show «I Am Georgina,» the athlete explained that he has not yet formalized his relationship with his beloved because the right moment has not come.

«I always tell Georgina that it will happen when we feel that same «click.» She understands what I mean. It could happen in half a year, a year, or even a month. But I am sure it will happen,» shared the striker, who currently plays for the Saudi club Al-Nassr.

The wedding question remains open, although the couple has been together for about 9 years. The couple has two daughters — 7-year-old Alana and 2-year-old Bella. In addition, the model is raising three of the footballer’s children from previous relationships.

One of the final shows of Paris Fashion Week was the presentation of Valentino’s new collection. The brand’s creative director, Alessandro Michele, unveiled a line titled Le Méta-Théâtre des Intimités, or The Meta-Theater of Intimacy, in which the designer explored the idea and power of intimate closeness. To further immerse the audience in his concept, the venue for the show was unconventional — a space transformed into a public restroom, painted in a bold shade of red. According to Michele’s vision, this setting was meant to create an atmosphere of a «dystopian, unsettling space à la David Lynch.»

Numerous star guests came to admire the bohemian collection of the fashion house.

Among the celebrities spotted at the event were actor and musician Jared Leto, model Bianca Balti, Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner Georgina Rodríguez, actor Barry Keoghan, Grammy winner Chappell Roan, and many others.

For this collection, the designer drew inspiration from Valentino’s so-called «golden era», which spanned the 1960s to the 1980s. At the same time, Alessandro Michele infused the line with his signature maximalist approach, layering textures, shapes, and a variety of decorative details.

Models walked the runway in vintage fur coats, cropped coats, collarless blazers, trench coats, and sheepskin jackets. The collection also featured looks with semi-transparent lace bodysuits, satin skirts, and airy slip dresses adorned with ruffles and draping.

The bohemian aesthetic was further emphasized by thematic accessories: head turbans, oversized sunglasses with colored lenses, long necklaces adorned with seashells, feathered collars, bright ties, and balaclavas.
