Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-time partner, Georgina Rodríguez, have married in a private civil ceremony in the Portuguese coastal town of Cascais.
The couple tied the knot on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, after nearly a decade together. They confirmed the marriage through a joint social media post showing their hands wearing wedding bands, accompanied by the caption “C (heart) G.” Their management also confirmed the wedding, according to reports by the Associated Press and other international media.
The ceremony was deliberately kept private, with reports describing it as an intimate family occasion. The couple’s five living children were among those present. Ronaldo has Cristiano Jr. from a previous relationship, while he and Rodríguez are parents to Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda. The couple also lost their son, Ángel, one of the twins born in 2022, shortly after birth.
The wedding came exactly one year after Rodríguez publicly announced their engagement on August 11, 2025. She shared a photograph of her engagement ring at the time, confirming that the couple were planning to marry after years together.
Ronaldo, 41, and Rodríguez, 32, began their relationship in 2016 after meeting in Madrid, where Rodríguez was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store. Their relationship became public the following year, and they have since built a high-profile family life spanning Spain, Italy, England and Saudi Arabia.
Rodríguez has developed a career as a model, entrepreneur and social-media personality and has featured prominently in the Netflix series I Am Georgina, which follows her family and personal life.
Ronaldo, meanwhile, remains an active professional footballer with Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr and continues to represent Portugal at international level.
The decision to marry in Cascais followed days of speculation over the location of the ceremony. Reports had circulated that the couple could hold the wedding in Madeira, Ronaldo’s birthplace, but the ceremony ultimately took place in Cascais, west of Lisbon.
The understated ceremony marked the end of a relationship that has remained under intense public scrutiny for almost a decade. Rather than staging a widely publicised celebration, Ronaldo and Rodríguez chose to confirm the marriage themselves through a simple photograph of their wedding rings.
The couple have not released detailed information about the ceremony, including the full guest list or other private arrangements.
