Cristiano Ronaldo may be known for his record-breaking goals and five Ballon d’Ors, but this time, the football legend is scoring big in love.
After more than seven years together, Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are officially set to tie the knot, because apparently, even the world’s most famous striker believes in saving the best goal for last.
In a candid new interview with Piers Morgan, the Portuguese icon confirmed that their wedding will take place next summer, following the 2026 World Cup.
“Not yet [a specific date],” Ronaldo teased, “but we plan to do it after the World Cup, with a trophy.” You can always count on CR7 to mix romance with ambition.
The proposal itself was just as grand as fans would expect from one of the world’s most celebrated athletes, but also surprisingly intimate. According to reports, Ronaldo popped the question in August in a quiet, late-night moment after dinner, surrounded by family.
“It was 1 a.m., my daughters were sleeping,” Ronaldo shared, recalling the nerves he felt before asking Rodríguez to marry him. “My friend gave me the ring, and my two girls came and said, ‘Daddy, are you going to give the ring to Mom?’ I thought, wow, it’s the right moment.”
The proposal was even caught on camera by one of his friends (because of course it was). The ring? A jaw-dropping diamond sparkler that Rodríguez proudly showed off on Instagram, sending the internet into meltdown mode within minutes. Fans flooded her comments with heart emojis and congratulatory messages, while others joked that this might be the only time Ronaldo doesn’t mind sharing the spotlight.
The pair’s love story has long been one of the most followed romances in sports and pop culture. Ronaldo first met Georgina Rodríguez, then a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid, back in 2016. Since then, they’ve built a life together filled with family, travel, and unapologetic luxury.
Rodríguez, now a model and influencer with millions of followers, has become a celebrity in her own right, starring in her own Netflix series Soy Georgina, where she gives fans a glimpse into her life with football’s biggest name. And while she’s often seen courtside or front row at major events, her devotion to family (and her impeccable wardrobe) remains her defining feature.
Their relationship has weathered global fame, constant travel, and endless press attention—but the two have remained steadfast, raising their children together in what can only be described as a super-luxury version of domestic bliss.
It’s clear Ronaldo is timing his wedding with precision, like one of his perfectly curved free kicks. With the 2026 World Cup set to take center stage first, fans are already joking that he’s aiming for the ultimate double: a trophy and a wedding ring.
And knowing Ronaldo, we wouldn’t be surprised if both are meticulously planned down to the final detail.
As for the ceremony, it’s expected to be private, elegant, and likely set in Europe, though the couple hasn’t confirmed the exact location yet. If Georgina’s style are anything to go by, we’re picturing couture gowns, red roses, and maybe even a nod to their Spanish-Portuguese roots in the decor.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez’s love story has already spanned continents, trophies, and a lifetime of headlines, but their upcoming wedding might just be their most meaningful chapter yet. For two people who’ve built an empire rooted in passion and partnership, a post-World Cup wedding feels like the perfect happily ever after.
As the world’s cameras prepare to follow every romantic step down the aisle, one thing’s certain: Ronaldo might lift one more trophy next summer, but this time, he’s sharing the victory.
