From Madrid Meeting to Marriage
Rodríguez, a model and influencer, met Ronaldo while she was working at a Gucci shop in Madrid, when the footballer was playing for one of Spain’s biggest clubs, Real Madrid.
On August 11, 2025, Rodríguez announced the couple's engagement on Instagram, posting a photo of a large diamond ring and writing in Spanish that she had said yes to the proposal.
Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez have five children in their family, and only two of them are biological children of both of them. Ronaldo’s other three children have been raised by Rodriguez. They welcomed their first daughter, Alana Martina, in 2017 and their youngest daughter, Bella, in April 2022; their twin brother who died.
Ronaldo is still a player for Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, which he joined in 2022, and his family lives in Riyadh. Ronaldo’s marriage comes at a time when he remains a major figure on the world stage, juggling his role as Portugal captain with his club career and high-profile family life.
Ronaldo’s Football Career and Records
Ronaldo has netted close to 1,000 goals in his career for Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al-Nassr and the Portugal national side. The 41-year-old, who is also Portugal’s captain, played in his sixth and final World Cup recently, equaling Lionel Messi’s record for appearances in men’s World Cup finals.
Ronaldo has won the Ballon d'Or five times and is second only to Argentina's Lionel Messi, who has won the game's top individual award a record eight times. Last year Ronaldo signed a new two-year deal with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr, meaning he will remain with the Riyadh-based club until 2027.
Away from the pitch, Ronaldo's finances are also under scrutiny. Last year, the Bloomberg Billionaires Index pegged Ronaldo's net worth at $1.4 billion (£1.04 billion). The valuation made Ronaldo the first billionaire football player, yet another record in a career that has been filled with achievement, major trophies, global commercial clout and sporting longevity.
For Sprouts News, it’s a big personal step for one of the most recognizable figures in football, with professional commitments continuing alongside family life in Riyadh.
Now, the civil ceremony in Cascais represents a formal chapter in the decade-long relationship between Ronaldo and Rodríguez. We may learn more details about the private celebration in the years to come.
