Georgina set to inherit Ronaldo's Madrid villa in event of divorce

Ammon News - Cristiano Ronaldo and his fiancee Georgina Rodríguez announced their engagement after almost ten years of dating. It seems that they are now completely ready for the next big step in life, and before that they agreed on financial issues in case of divorce. Namely, as revealed by the Portuguese magazine "TV GUIA" last year, there is a contractual agreement that regulates the couple's life together. According to that agreement, in the event of a divorce, Rodríguez would receive a lifetime allowance of 100,000 euros per month. In addition, she would become the owner of Ronaldo's villa in Madrid. The property of 950 square meters is located on a plot of 4,000 square meters, and Ronaldo bought it in 2010 for five million euros. Allegedly, the marriage clauses were put in place immediately after the birth of their first daughter, Alana Martina, so that Rodríguez would have financial security. These are not large amounts for Ronaldo. The Portuguese recently signed a new contract with Saudi club Al-Nasr until 2027, and receives a huge salary. According to 'The Sun', CR7 earns 208 million euros per year — which is 17 million per month and 4.3 million euros per week. Recall, Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina have been together since 2017. The supermodel and the world star met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, where she worked as a saleswoman. Since then, they have been considered one of the happiest couples in the sports world.

Jordan Hosts Filming of The Voice and The Voice Kids

Ammon News - The Royal Film Commission – Jordan announces that MBC Group, the largest media network in the Middle East and North Africa, has commenced filming the latest seasons of The Voice: Ahla Sawt and The Voice Kids at Olivewood Studios. The four-month production will also include shoots at ten locations across the Kingdom, making it one of the most significant unscripted television productions to take place in Jordan. Jordan's selection as the filming location follows years of investment in world-class film and television infrastructure, technical capabilities, and skilled local talent. The production will employ hundreds of Jordanian crew members — including cinematographers, sound engineers, lighting specialists, and costume designers — and will engage 16 local companies providing logistics and technical services. The project is expected to deliver a substantial economic impact beyond the screen. Royal Jordanian Airlines will provide air travel for cast and crew, while hotels will host more than 11,000 room nights during the production. The filming schedule will also benefit multiple sectors, from equipment rental and transport to catering and set construction. The Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, Dr. Emad Hijazeen, emphasized the significance of hosting this major Arab production in Jordan, affirming that it underscores regional and international confidence in the Kingdom's capabilities in delivering high-quality artistic production services. He highlighted that this step reflects the richness and diversity of Jordan's cultural environment, and is an integral part of the Kingdom's tourism industry. Dr. Hijazeen noted that hosting this production showcases Jordan's attractive environment for tourism and investment in the film industry, inviting the international and Arab communities to capitalize on these opportunities. 'MBC's choice to film The Voice in Jordan highlights our growing strength as a production destination. Olivewood Studios and our expanding infrastructure are delivering real results, and this project reflects that momentum,' said Mohannad Al-Bakri, Director General of the Royal Film Commission. 'With continued support from the Royal Film Commission, hosting a global format like this opens new doors—advancing our goal to position Jordan as a hub for international film and television,' Al-Bakri added. Chairman of Olivewood Studios, Raja Gargour, noted that the production aligns with Jordan's Economic Modernization Vision by expanding opportunities in the creative industries and creating sustainable employment for young professionals. Previous seasons of The Voice, filmed in Lebanon and Saudi Arabia, have attracted more than 100 million viewers across the region. This year's Jordan-based edition will showcase the country's diverse landscapes, heritage, and production capacity to a vast regional audience — further establishing Jordan's place on the map as a serious hub for large-scale television and film productions.
