She shared a photo of her hand resting over Ronaldo\u2019s, showing off a large oval-shaped diamond engagement ring.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYes, I do. In this and in all my lives,\u201d Rodr\u00edguez wrote in Spanish.<\/p>\n<p>The marriage marks a new chapter in a relationship that began nearly a decade ago. Ronaldo first met Rodr\u00edguez while she was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid. The couple made their public debut at the Best FIFA Football Awards in Zurich in January 2017 and became Instagram official several months later.<\/p>\n<p>Ronaldo has said he never expected their relationship to become what it did.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI didn\u2019t think at the beginning that [the relationship] would be this strong, that I would fall in love with her,\u201d Ronaldo said in Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s Netflix reality series, I Am Georgina. \u201cI didn\u2019t expect it, honestly. But after a while, I felt that she was the woman of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, the couple has built a family together. Their five children include Ronaldo\u2019s 16-year-old son Cristiano Jr., 9-year-old twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8-year-old daughter Alana and 4-year-old daughter Bella.<\/p>\n<p>The family also endured heartbreak in April 2022 when Ronaldo and Rodr\u00edguez announced that Bella\u2019s twin brother, \u00c1ngel, had died during childbirth. In announcing the loss, the couple said the birth of Bella gave them \u201cthe strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rodr\u00edguez later joked that Ronaldo took his time making their relationship official.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with Elle Spain in December 2025, she said his proposal caught her completely by surprise.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe truth is, when he proposed, it was the last thing on my mind,\u201d Rodr\u00edguez said. She was so stunned by the diamond, she said, that she waited until the following day to look at it in the sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>Calling the ring \u201cgorgeous,\u201d she joked, \u201cIt\u2019s the least he could offer me after 10 years of waiting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The marriage comes during another milestone year for Ronaldo, one of the most recognizable athletes in the world. The five-time world player of the year recently represented Portugal in his record-tying sixth World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>But this week, the celebration was about something away from the soccer field. Nearly 10 years after their relationship began, Ronaldo has married the woman he once described simply as \u201cthe woman of my life.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodr\u00edguez have officially tied the knot after nearly a decade together.
