CASCAIS, Portugal: Football star Cristiano Ronaldo and long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez have married in a private civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, ending years of speculation about the couple’s wedding plans.
The ceremony took place on August 11, with reports indicating that the couple’s five children attended the intimate family event.
Ronaldo appeared to confirm the marriage through a post on Instagram featuring the couple’s wedding rings with the caption, “C ❤️ G,” without releasing further details about the ceremony or guest list.
The couple have been together since 2016, after meeting while Rodríguez was working at a Gucci store in Madrid. Over the years, they have built a family together and have remained one of football’s most prominent celebrity couples.
Why Is August 11 Significant for the Couple?
The wedding date coincides with the first anniversary of the couple’s engagement announcement. On August 11, 2025, Rodríguez publicly revealed her engagement ring and announced that she had accepted Ronaldo’s proposal.
The couple’s decision to marry on the same date has drawn widespread attention, with many viewing it as a symbolic milestone in their relationship.
During their nearly decade-long partnership, Ronaldo and Rodríguez have shared both personal milestones and family challenges, including the loss of their newborn son, Ángel, in 2022.
Despite Ronaldo’s global profile, the couple chose to keep the wedding ceremony private, releasing only a limited public confirmation and avoiding a large-scale public celebration.
The marriage marks a new chapter in the relationship of one of the world’s most recognised footballers and his long-time partner after almost ten years together.
