And the loved-up couple revealed in August 2025 that they are finally engaged!
Who is Georgina Rodriguez?
Georgina Rodriguez grew up in Jaca, a city in northeastern Spain and part of the province of Huesca, near the Pyrenees.
She was born to a Spanish mum and an Argentinian dad.
Georgina learned dance before changing careers to modelling after studying English in London.
The Sun revealed that her father is a convicted cocaine trafficker named Jorge Rodriguez, who spent ten years in jail.
The 29-year-old was first spotted on a string of dates with then-Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo towards the end of 2016.
Georgina has claimed that her first meeting with the football star was "love at first sight."
"Our first meeting was at Gucci, where I worked as a sales assistant," she recalled in an interview with The Sun .
"Days later, we saw each other again at another brand's event.
"It was then that we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside my work environment. It was love at first sight for both."
News of her relationship with the footballer began to emerge in November 2016 when they were snapped walking around Disneyland Paris arm-in-arm and publicly showing their affection for one another.
And despite putting on a disguise, the Italian magazine Chi was able to identify Ronaldo as he cuddled up to his new love interest.
Georgina gave birth to baby daughter Alana Martina on November 12, 2017, with Ronaldo posting a picture on Instagram, writing: "Alana Martina is just born! Both Geo and Alana are doing great! We are all very happy!'"
And just over two years later, the pair were forced to deny rumours that they had got hitched in a low-key ceremony in Morocco.

Ronaldo shares two children with girlfriend Georgina and has a brood of five in total.
The Manchester United stars eldest is 12-year-old son Cristiano Ronaldo Jr - who has already starred for his father's club at youth level.
In June 2017, Ronaldo then welcomed twins – Eva and Mateo – into the world after a surrogate mother allegedly gave birth to them in the United States.
A month later, Ronaldo confirmed in an interview that he and Georgina Rodriguez were expecting their first baby together.
When asked by Spanish news outlet El Mundo whether the player was 'happy' to have another child on the way, he replied: 'Yes, very much.'
Georgina gave birth to baby daughter Alana Martina on November 12, 2017.
Four years, later Cristiano and Georgina announced they were expecting twins.
But tragically, after Georgina gave birth in April 2022, the pair announced that their baby boy had passed away as they paid tribute online.
Ronaldo wrote on social media: "It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away.
"It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel.
"Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.
"We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support.
"We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time.
"Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you."
The couple have since named their baby daughter Bella Esmeralda.

Why did it take so long for Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez to get engaged? Portuguese footballer proposes years after rape allegations and media speculation
Is there ever a right time to propose? Probably not, but as wise men famously say, only fools rush in, and as many fans across the world will happily testify, Cristiano Ronaldo is no fool. The Portuguese footballer confirmed his engagement to long-term girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez on Monday evening after proposing with an extravagant diamond ring. But if Ronaldo's Instagram revelation was a surprise to his millions of fans, it was only because many of them had assumed the couple were already married. And why wouldn't they? After all, more than a decade has passed since their eyes first met across the well appointed shop floor of a Spanish Gucci store. At the time Ronaldo was at the peak of his career, an icon for local club Real Madrid and the Portuguese national team, while Rodriguez was a part-time model who supplemented her income as a shop assistant at the high-end boutique, located within the historic boulevards of Madrid's Salamanca. One could've been forgiven for writing the romance off as a casual fling, but the ensuing ten years have seen it go from strength to strength, and neither have moved to discredit persistent claims of a secret marriage. Indeed, even Ronaldo has referred to long-term partner Rodriguez as his 'wife' - notably during a recent podcast. But the events of Monday now confirm the footballer has only just asked for her hand in marriage, which begs the question - why did it take so long? Perhaps we'll never know the answer, but the last ten years have not been without their fair share of turbulence - both on and off the pitch. Ronaldo had been Real Madrid's talisman for seven years and was already a father to son Cristiano Jr when he met Rodriguez, but his whirlwind career would see the couple uprooted to northern Italy when he signed for Juventus in 2018. It was a period of significant change for the couple, with Ronaldo welcoming twins Eva and Mateo via a San Diego based surrogate in June 2017 - just five months before Rodriguez gave birth to their first biological child, daughter Alana Martin. However the move to Turin took precedence as he adapted to life in a new city and a highly competitive new league after close to a decade in the Spanish capital. But there would be precious little time to settle, with the family once more on the move in 2021 - this time to England, with Ronaldo making a surprise return to the Premier League and Manchester United. It was a homecoming of sorts for the Portuguese ace, who had established himself as one of the world's brightest talents during his first, trophy-laden spell with United. And just months after arriving in Manchester there was joy on a personal front for Ronaldo, with Rodriguez confirming her second pregnancy - this time with her own twins, a boy and a girl. But the couple were devastated when their male twin tragically died during childbirth the following April - a loss they later described as 'the greatest pain.' 'It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel,' read an announcement shared by the couple. 'Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness. 'We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support. We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. 'Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.' The couple's heartache mirrored a torrid spell in Manchester, with Rodriguez reportedly unable to settle in Lancashire and Ronaldo failing to replicate his earlier successes with United. Indeed, the footballer's inability to form a cohesive working relationship with then-manager Erik Ten Hag would ultimately lead to his early departure from the club, but not before launching a blistering public attack on the Dutchman during a sit-down interview with Piers Morgan. Another move beckoned, and a hasty one at that, this time to Saudi Arabia, the arab riches of Riyadh based football club Al Nassr and the rapidly developing Saudi Pro League. Three years on and the couple appear to be settled in Saudi, where Ronaldo - now 40-years old and well past the age of conventional footballing retirement - recently signed a contract extension worth an incredible £167million-per-year. Rodriguez has been a constant by Ronaldo's side as his career takes him all over the world Rodriguez has of course become something of a celebrity in her own right, albeit through association, having launched a hugely successful fly-on-the-wall docuseries with streaming giant Netflix. But despite the domestic stability it promotes, there has been persistent conjecture surrounding the circumstances and setting in which the couple first met. Both parties have always maintained they met by chance while Ronaldo was visiting a Gucci store in Madrid, where Rodriguez worked as a sales assistant, but separate sources tell a rather different story. Appearing on Spanish TV show Fiesta in June, a former friend alleged they really met at famous Madrid nightspot Opium, a venue Rodriguez frequented in the hope of meeting wealthy sportsmen. According to the friend, Rodriguez 'always had interest in athletes, especially footballers' prior to her initial meeting with Ronaldo. 'If it hadn't been Cristiano, it would've been someone else,' she claimed. It was an unsubstantiated claim, and one the couple could easily dismiss after weathering a significantly heavier storm in 2018, when Ronaldo faced historic accusations of rape. But the couple were devastated when their male twin tragically died during childbirth the following April - a loss they later described as 'the greatest pain' Kathryn Mayorga waived her right to anonymity by alleging the footballer had raped her in a Las Vegas hotel room in 2009 before subsequently paying her £375,000 in hush money. Ronaldo has vehemently denied the claims. Releasing a statement in October 2018, he said: 'I firmly deny the accusations being issued against me. Rape is an abominable crime that goes against everything that I am and believe in.' Mayorga, a former teacher and model from the Las Vegas area, was 25 when she met Ronaldo at a nightclub in 2009 and went with him and other people to his hotel suite. She alleged in her lawsuit filed almost a decade later that the star, then 24, sexually assaulted her in a bedroom. Ronaldo, through his lawyers, maintained the sex was consensual and that the confidentiality agreement reached in 2010 was valid. In November 2023, a U.S. appeals court sided with Ronaldo, rejecting an appeal by Mayorga's lawyer to force the star to pay millions more than the $375,000 (£299,385) in hush money he originally paid. Mayorga's lawyer had asked the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn a federal judge's dismissal of the case in Las Vegas in June 2022 and reopen the civil lawsuit she filed in 2018. They argued U.S. District Judge Jennifer Dorsey should not have rejected Mayorga's attempts to unseal and make public the confidentiality agreement she signed in 2010 in accepting payments from Ronaldo. A three-judge panel of the San Francisco-based appellate court disagreed. It also rejected their argument that the judge abused her discretion by dismissing the case with prejudice, which prevented Mayorga from re-filing the case, and took the unusual step of levying a $335,000 (£267,450) fine against her lawyer, Leslie Mark Stovall. 'The district court clearly recognised the gravity of dismissing the case and accordingly provided a thorough analysis, amply supported by factual findings,' Judge Johnnie Rawlinson wrote in a six-page opinion. In dismissing the case in Nevada, Dorsey sanctioned Stovall for 'bad faith,' saying he had improperly attempted to use documents that were leaked or stolen in a cyberattack to pursue Mayorga's case. Stovall told the 9th Circuit panel during oral arguments in October that Mayorga wasn't bound by the confidentiality agreement because Ronaldo or his associates violated it before the German news outlet, Der Spiegel, published an article in April 2017 titled 'Cristiano Ronaldo's Secret' based on documents obtained from 'the whistleblower portal Football Leaks.' Las Vegas police reopened a rape investigation after Mayorga's lawsuit was filed, but Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson decided in 2019 not to pursue criminal charges. He said too much time had passed and evidence failed to show that Mayorga's accusation could be proven to a jury. Mayorga's lawsuit claimed conspiracy, defamation, breach of contract, coercion and fraud. By the time Dorsey threw out the case, Stovall claimed Mayorga would receive far more than $25 million (£19.9m) in damages. The 9th Circuit ruling noted the 2010 settlement 'lay dormant until 2017, when `Football Leaks' released hundreds of documents through a cyber hack of Ronaldo's former attorneys.' 'Despite the settlement and confidentiality agreement between Ronaldo and Mayorga, Stovall sought and used documents from 'Football Leaks' - including those clearly marked attorney-client privileged - to prosecute a new lawsuit on behalf of Mayorga against Ronaldo,' the circuit court said. Having weathered their fair share of storms, Ronaldo and Rodriguez are now looking ahead to what will likely be an extravagant wedding ceremony. But will it be another ten years in the making? Only time will tell.

Man Utd fans say ‘if only we were as good as our kit designs' as Red Devils unveil stunning new third kit
MANCHESTER UNITED have unveiled their new third kit - and fans absolutely love it. The black strip has yellow and blue details with the Adidas Trefoil logo and a shield around the club badge. 3 3 3 It is a reimagination of the legendary away kit worn by the club between 1993 and 1995 - a period which coincided with their first Double win. United have described it as "a tribute to timeless style and football heritage" with Dimitar Berbatov leading the promotional video. The new kit has drawn a fantastic reaction from supporters, with one person taking to X to write: "If only we were half as good our kit designs." Another commented: "This is the best kit there is." A third said: "Love the retro vibe! Reminds me of the Cantona era when I first became a fan." While a fourth wrote: "This is the best jersey in decades, and needs King Cantona wearing it." Man Utd kick off their Premier League campaign on Sunday at home to Arsenal. Head coach Ruben Amorim has added four new players to his ranks so far in the transfer window. Matheus Cunha, Diego Leon, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko have all joined this summer in time for the new season. Sesko became the latest addition when he signed on Saturday. The striker said: "The history of Manchester United is obviously very special but what really excites me is the future. "When we discussed the project, it was clear that everything is in place for this team to continue to grow and compete for the biggest trophies again soon. "From the moment that I arrived, I could feel the positive energy and family environment that the club has created. It is clearly the perfect place to reach my maximum level and fulfil all of my ambitions. "I cannot wait to start learning from Ruben [Amorim] and connecting with my team-mates to achieve the success that we all know we are capable of together."

Cristiano Ronaldo's VERY extensive dating history as it's revealed he'll finally say 'I do with' Georgina Rodriguez - including Paris Hilton, two supermodels and a British reality star
Since he shot to fame at the age of 18, Cristiano Ronaldo has dated a selection of Hollywood It Girls, including Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. But it was Georgina Rodriguez from Buenos Aires, Argentina, who was recently made his fiancée, nine years after they famously met in a Gucci store, where she was working as a sales assistant. Confirming their engagement on Instagram with a photograph of a sizable diamond ring, the Argentine-Spanish model, 31, wrote: 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.' In a previous interview for her Netflix reality show, I Am Georgina, she told how she has been teased by friends over when she will get married. But the 40-year-old footballer said that he would pop the question when they 'get that click'. The couple has been in a relationship since 2016 and has two daughters together: Alana, seven, and Bella, two years old. She is also the stepmother of his other three children. Thanks to the couple's solid relationship over the years, it is easy to forget that Cristiano had a string of A-list girlfriends before her. Before his romance with Georgina, Cristiano dated celebrities from around the world, including former Hollyoaks actress and model Gemma Atkinson, Bollywood star Bipasha Basu, and Spanish model Desiree Cordero. As one of the most famous couples in the world prepares to tie the knot, we take a look at Cristiano's extensive dating history... Jordana Jardel 40-year-old Jordana was the first woman Cristiano was linked to when he hit the big time. The Brazilian model is thought to be the striker's first serious partner as a professional footballer. Cristiano was introduced to her by his Sporting Lisbon team-mate, Mario Jardel, who is the brother of Jordana. A rather fresh-faced 18-year-old Cristiano is seen in pictures wrapping his arms around Jordana and his mother at an event. And Jordana appeared to be just as much of a fan of football as her former partner, as she was seen cheering on a pitch in full kit and boots in snaps from 2003. The couple were linked in the early noughties, but didn't manage to go the full distance. Jordana is now married and has an eight-year-old daughter, often sharing snaps of her family life online. Merche Romero Cristiano's next partner of note was Portuguese model Merche, who he was linked to for more than a year between 2005 and 2006. The TV presenter was his most prominent girlfriend during his first stint at Manchester United during his glory days at Old Trafford. However, due to the fact that Merche was based in Portugal, the couple struggled to keep their romance going due to the long-distance. Imogen Thomas Following his split from Merche, Cristiano enjoyed a string of dates with reality star Imogen Thomas. The TV personality, who shot to stardom on Big Brother, was linked to the Al Nassr star in 2006. After their steamy tryst, they are said to have briefly given the romance another go in 2011. A spokesperson denied this but did claim he 'bombarded her' with calls. Soraia Chaves Portuguese star Soraria Chaves dated Cristiano before she soared to stardom with her acting career in her native country. The beauty dated Cristiano in 2006, just a year later she starred in the country's highest grossing film of the year, Call Girl. Gemma Atkinson Cristiano and Gemma Atkinson set tongues wagging when they stepped out together in 2007 during his time at the Manchester-based club. Gemma was a local IT girl and lived close by due to her role in northern soap, Hollyoaks, making them the talk of the town. The soap star, who is now married to Gorka Marquez, has a daughter named Mia, two, with the dancer and has another baby on the way. Gemma previously revealed during an interview how Cristiano attempted to win her over with tea and episodes of the classic British series Only Fools and Horses. Bipasha Basu In the same year, Cristiano was seen kissing Bollywood star Bipasha Basu, now 46. They met while presenting an award together in Lisbon and reportedly 'got physical' while out clubbing together late into the night. Following their meeting, Bipasha said the evening was a 'dream come true.' She said: 'After the event, we went out clubbing, and that was simply fantastic.' The duo, who are said to have formed a bond over their love of Bollywood films, remained close friends after meeting. Paris Hilton Following her split from Doug Reinhardt, it was reported that the socialite and the then-recently departed Manchester United star were enjoying the first flushes of romance. In 2009, the Portuguese winger celebrated the news that he has been snapped up by Real Madrid for the eye-watering sum of £80 million by hitting the town in Los Angeles with the American party queen. Ronaldo 'hung out' with the newly-single hotel heiress and her younger sister Nicky at the MyHouse nightclub in LA well into the early hours. The trio then carried on partying back at Nicky's plush home in West Hollywood. Several celebrity websites in America claimed that the pair were intimately kissing. One witness wrote: '[She was] hot and heavy, making out with Cristiano at his table.' Another reported: 'They were talking to one another and seemed extremely friendly.' However, their fledgling romance never went any further than a couple of nights out and a few kisses. Luana Belletti After receiving the brush off from Paris, Cristiano was set up with Luana Belletti by her brother, Chelsea star Juliano Belletti in 2009. Luana, who is a fashion designer and stylist, was spotted getting close to the star during a romantic date. Nereida Gallardo Nereida, whose name has come to light in recent days thanks to her comments about Ronaldo's girlfriend, enjoyed a few dates with Ronaldo. Nereida dated the football star for eight months in 2008 and now runs her own beauty salon in the Balearic Islands. Earlier this month, the small business owner used her ex-boyfriend's new partner as an example of a celebrity who could have gone under the knife - even though Georgina, has never publicly revealed if she has had a cosmetic procedure. Kim Kardashian In 2010, before she locked it down with her ex-husband Kanye West, Kim Kardashian was on Cristiano's radar. Cristiano, was caught kissing Kim, who was 29 at the time, during her low-key trip to Spain, according to sources. The pair were said to have enjoyed a romantic dinner together during her a three-day visit to Madrid. A source said at the time: 'She and Ronaldo were kissing and very affectionate. They looked to be getting on really well, laughing the whole time.' Another insider confirmed the sighting to celebrity blogger Perez Hilton. The reality TV star is also believed to have visited the football player at his luxury home in the Spanish capital. Irina Shayk Cristiano and Irina found love after modelling together on an Armani shoot in 2010. They dated for five years, but Russian beauty Irina and Cristiano shocked fans around the world when they decided to call time on their relationship. It was reported that Irina was left 'betrayed' by the heartthrob when she found out he'd been secretly messaging girls all over the world. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model has revealed how 'stupid' she felt when Cristiano confessed to her on New Year's Eve. According to The Sun, Irina told a source close to the pair: 'Now I know the truth and I feel completely betrayed. I trusted him and stuck up for him when there were rumours he had been with other women. I feel stupid that Cristiano has fooled me.' Irina went on to date Hollywood actor Bradley Cooper, who she shares daughter Lea De Seine, with. Lucia Villalon Following his split from Irina, Ronaldo was linked to Spanish TV host Lucia. Their romance didn't last long and her family came out and denied the fact they had ever enjoyed a romance. Desiree Cordero Just before finding love with Georgina, Cristiano dated Spanish star Desiree. Reports at the time claimed that he quickly ditched her after believing her to be 'fame hungry' and only with him for the limelight. She is now in a relationship with Lazio star Joaquin Correa.
