Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has married his longtime partner, Georgina Rodríguez, in an intimate civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal.
The couple tied the knot on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, after nearly a decade together, bringing their long-running relationship to a new chapter.
The ceremony was reportedly kept private, with the couple choosing an intimate setting away from the public spotlight.
Ronaldo and Rodríguez confirmed the marriage through social media, sharing images of their wedding rings and celebrating the occasion with their millions of followers. The announcement quickly attracted widespread attention from fans across the world.
Ronaldo and Rodríguez began their relationship in 2016 after reportedly meeting while Rodríguez was working at a Gucci store in Madrid. Over the years, Rodríguez became a prominent figure alongside the Portuguese football icon, while also building her own career as a model, entrepreneur and social media personality.
Their relationship has been closely followed by international media, particularly because of their high-profile lifestyles and growing family.
The couple announced their engagement in August 2025, when Rodríguez shared a photograph of her engagement ring on Instagram, signalling their intention to formalise their relationship after years together.
Despite Ronaldo’s global fame and status as one of the most recognisable athletes in the world, the couple opted for a low-key civil ceremony in Cascais.
The decision to keep the wedding private contrasts with the enormous public interest surrounding their relationship and previous speculation about when and where they would eventually marry.
Reports indicate that the ceremony was attended by only a small number of people, reflecting the couple’s preference for keeping the occasion centred on their family and closest circle rather than staging a large celebrity event.
Family has remained an important part of Ronaldo and Rodríguez’s relationship.
The couple share children, while Rodríguez has also played a prominent role in Ronaldo’s wider family life. Their family has frequently appeared in Rodríguez’s social media posts and in her Netflix series, I Am Georgina, which offers a behind-the-scenes look at her lifestyle and family life.
The couple have also experienced profound personal loss. In 2022, they announced the death of their baby son during childbirth, while their daughter survived. The tragedy was publicly described by the couple as one of the most painful experiences of their lives.
Their wedding therefore marks another significant moment in a relationship that has gone through both highly publicised successes and deeply personal challenges.
For Ronaldo, the marriage comes as he continues one of the most celebrated careers in football history.
The Portuguese forward has built a global sporting and commercial empire during a career that has included spells at Sporting CP, Manchester United, Real Madrid and Juventus, as well as representing Portugal at international level.
His personal life has attracted almost as much global attention as his achievements on the pitch, with his relationship with Rodríguez becoming a defining part of his public image in recent years.
Rodríguez, meanwhile, has developed a substantial international following of her own, combining modelling, fashion, business ventures and social media influence.
The marriage brings formal recognition to a partnership that has endured almost 10 years and produced a family that has remained central to both Ronaldo and Rodríguez’s lives.
While details of the ceremony remain limited because of its private nature, news of the marriage has already generated widespread reaction among football supporters and celebrity fans around the world.
For one of football’s most famous couples, the intimate ceremony in Cascais represents the beginning of a new chapter this time as husband and wife.
