Who is Cristiano Ronaldo's fiancee Georgina Rodriguez? Model is soul-mate of Man Utd legend and mum to kids
GEORGINA RODRIGUEZ is enjoying life in Saudi Arabia following Cristiano Ronaldo's move to Al-Nassr. The family moved to the Gulf state at the end of 2022 after both Manchester United and CR7 agreed to end the striker's time at Old Trafford. 3 Ronaldo and partner Georgina Rodriguez have been together since 2016 Credit: Instagram @georginagio And the loved-up couple finally 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. 3 Cristiano Ronaldo previously shared a cosy family picture of him cuddling three of his children with Georgina Rodriguez Credit: Instagram How did Georgina Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo meet? Before meeting Ronaldo, Georgina worked at a Gucci store in the Spanish capital of Madrid. It's believed the Spanish beauty caught the eye of Cristiano Ronaldo in the VIP area of a Dolce & Gabbana event. How long have Georgina Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo been dating? The couple appeared to start dating a few months after Ronaldo was caught cuddling up to fitness model Cassandre Davis in August 2016. And, while it's difficult to know exactly how long Ronaldo and Georgina have been together, their first public date was in mid-November 2016. After years together, the pair revealed that they got engaged on August 11, 2025. Gerorgina posted a picture on Instagram of her wearing a beautiful ring with the caption of the post read: "Yes I do. In this and in all my lives." 3 @georginagio/Instagram How many children does Cristiano Ronaldo have? 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.
