The latest

Cristiano Ronaldo, 41, and Georgina Rodríguez, 32, announced on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, that they had married in an intimate civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, according to The Times. The couple disclosed the marriage in a joint Instagram post showing their intertwined hands and wedding rings. The image received more than 6.5 million likes within its first hour, the newspaper reported, and appeared exactly one year after they publicly announced their engagement.

Details

• Family gathering: Their children Alana, eight, and Bella, four, attended alongside Ronaldo’s other children: twins Eva Maria and Mateo, both nine and born through surrogacy, and Cristiano Jr, 16, from a previous relationship. The ceremony was described as a “private and intimate moment”, but the report did not specify other guests or give a total attendance.
• Engagement anniversary: Rodríguez announced their engagement on August 11, 2025, posting a ring photograph with the translated caption: “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.” Experts cited by The Times estimated the oval-cut diamond at 25-30 carats and valued it at about $5 million.
• Changed location: Expectations had focused on Ronaldo’s home island of Madeira, where crowds gathered over the weekend in anticipation of a wedding. Instead, the civil ceremony took place in Cascais. The report provided no precise venue and did not explain why the event was held there rather than Madeira.
• Saudi return: The family relocated to Saudi Arabia after Ronaldo’s move to Al-Nassr. He captains the Saudi Pro League club under a contract The Times described as a record £165 million a year. The newspaper said the newlyweds were expected to return to Saudi Arabia but provided no timetable.
• Public family life: The couple’s family life has featured prominently in the Netflix series I Am Georgina, which follows Rodríguez’s transition from a Madrid retail assistant to a global influencer. They also experienced the death of Ángel, Bella’s twin brother, during delivery in April 2022, a loss they addressed publicly.

Background

Ronaldo and Rodríguez met in 2016 while she was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid. Ronaldo has called her “a very interesting girl” and said she seemed more mature for her age. He has said he did not initially expect the relationship to become so strong, although he later described Rodríguez as “the woman of my life”. Their marriage follows almost ten years together amid sustained international attention.

What’s next

The next concrete indicator will be Ronaldo’s appearance in an official Al-Nassr training or match update after the wedding. Neither the Instagram announcement nor The Times identified a return date, a further celebration or additional arrangements connected to the marriage.
