Who is Georgina Rodriguez?

Georgina Rodriguez is a Spanish model, social media personality and businesswoman. Born in Buenos Aires, she moved to Jaca, Spain, with her mother and two siblings when she was one year old. Her father spent nearly 10 years in prison for drug trafficking.

Rodriguez developed an early interest in dance and trained as a ballerina before moving to Madrid. She began working as a luxury sales assistant and also took weekend jobs at local bars.

How did Georgina meet Cristiano Ronaldo?

Rodriguez met Ronaldo while working at a luxury store where he was a customer. He later invited her to an event as his guest.

In her Netflix documentary I Am Georgina , Rodriguez recalled travelling to work by bus before Ronaldo began picking her up in a luxury car. Ronaldo also appeared in the series and said he did not initially expect their relationship to become so serious.

The couple made their red-carpet debut at the Best FIFA Football Awards in January 2017, when Rodriguez attended the event with Ronaldo and his son Cristiano Jr. They subsequently confirmed their relationship on Instagram.

Georgina Rodriguez's career

Rodriguez built a career as a model and social media influencer after moving away from luxury retail. She has appeared in major magazines and other fashion publications.

She has also established herself as a businesswoman and launched her own athleisure line. Her Netflix series I Am Georgina has also provided viewers with an insight into her professional and family life.

Ronaldo and Georgina's family

The couple welcomed their daughter Alana Martina in 2017. Rodriguez also became involved in raising Ronaldo's children Cristiano Jr., Eva and Mateo.

The family moved across Europe as Ronaldo continued his football career. After his transfer from Real Madrid to Juventus in 2018, Rodriguez supported him through the move and the family settled in Turin.

In 2022, the couple announced that they were expecting twins. Their son Ángel died during childbirth, while their daughter Bella Esmeralda survived.

The family later moved to Saudi Arabia in January 2023 after Ronaldo joined Al Nassr.

From engagement to marriage

Rodriguez announced her engagement to Ronaldo on August 11, 2025, sharing a picture of her ring and writing, “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.”

A year later, on August 11, 2026, the couple reportedly married in a private civil ceremony in Cascais. Their five children were present, according to the information shared about the ceremony.

The couple subsequently confirmed their marriage by posting a photograph of their matching gold wedding bands.
