Cristiano Ronaldo sparks marriage rumors with Georgina Rodriguez after social media post
The Portuguese football icon referred to Rodriguez as his "wife," sparking rumors that the couple might have secretly tied the knot.
Taking to Instagram, the Al-Nassr forward wrote, "For the mother, partner, friend, my wife… happy birthday, love. Your light illuminates us and your love infects us," accompanied by a heart emoji. Although the pair has not officially announced their marriage, this is not the first time Ronaldo has used the term "wife" to describe Rodriguez.
The couple, who have been together since 2016, have often addressed questions about their relationship status. At the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards, Ronaldo also called Rodriguez his "wife" during an acceptance speech. Additionally, in a YouTube video, both were seen wearing what appeared to be wedding bands, further fueling speculation.
In previous interviews, Rodriguez shared her dream of getting married but confirmed that the couple had postponed wedding plans to focus on their family. Speaking to The Telegraph, she said, "Marriage is in our plans, but now we have many interesting plans for the future. We have four children to educate and we are very focused on them."
The couple shares two children together, while Rodriguez is stepmother to Ronaldo's three other children. While fans eagerly await confirmation, Ronaldo remains focused on his future with Al-Nassr as he negotiates a potential contract extension worth £168 million.

Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain spark social media feud over new song lyrics
A possible feud between Lana Del Rey and Ethel Cain has emerged on social media following the release of a video clip previewing Del Rey's new song, All About Ethel. In the Instagram post, Del Rey is seen sitting in her car while the track plays. The opening lyrics reference Cain directly: 'Ethel Cain hated my Instagram post / Think it's cute reenacting my Chicago pose.' Online comparisons quickly surfaced showing similar photographs of both artists posing with musician Jack Donoghue, formerly linked to Del Rey. Donoghue was photographed with Del Rey outside Cook County Jail in Chicago in July 2022, while a similar image featuring Cain and Donoghue dates back to 2021. Later in the track, Del Rey sings, 'The most famous girl at the Waffle House,' a phrase connected to Cain through a 2022 New York Times article. Del Rey herself was photographed working at a Waffle House in Alabama in 2023 as part of a publicity stunt. Following the clip's release, Cain posted on her Instagram Story, 'Update: Lana Del Rey has blocked Ethel Cain on Instagram.' Cain recently released her album Willoughby Tucker, I'll Always Love You, earning a five-star review from Far Out magazine. Del Rey, meanwhile, has been working on a new album originally announced in November 2024 with a planned May 2025 release. Though delayed and renamed, the album will feature collaborations with Luke Laird, Jack Antonoff, Zach Dawes, and Drew Erickson. Two tracks have already been released, with another teased during her Stagecoach Festival performance in April 2025.

Reynolds fuels speculation over 'Deadpool' return
Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds has sent Marvel fans into a frenzy after posting a mysterious image on Instagram this week, reviving speculation about his return in the upcoming blockbuster Avengers: Doomsday. The post, which featured the Avengers logo defaced with Deadpool-style red graffiti, instantly grabbed attention across social media. The stylised design — resembling both the iconic Avengers "A" and an anarchy symbol — has been interpreted by fans as a deliberate hint at the wisecracking anti-hero's involvement in the film. Reynolds' portrayal of Deadpool has become one of the most popular characters in the Marvel pantheon since the release of Deadpool (2016) and Deadpool 2 (2018). His most recent outing, last year's Deadpool & Wolverine, became a global phenomenon, raking in $1.3 billion at the box office and uniting him on screen with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine for the first time under the Marvel Studios banner. Despite the character's success, Marvel's official "big chair" cast reveal for Avengers: Doomsday did not include Reynolds. However, the film's sprawling, multiverse-driven storyline — combined with Deadpool's unpredictable, fourth-wall-breaking nature — has kept speculation alive for months. The timing of Reynolds' post is also fuelling excitement. Marvel is deep into production on Doomsday, and insiders suggest that another major cast announcement could be imminent. The film, which is slated to release ahead of Avengers: Secret Wars, is being positioned as a pivotal chapter in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), bringing together characters from multiple timelines and franchises. Filming has been under way for several months, with set photos revealing appearances by Sam Wilson's Avengers line-up, members of The Thunderbolts and The Fantastic Four, and even legacy X-Men characters. Leaked images have shown actors Patrick Stewart (Professor X), James Marsden (Cyclops), and Ian McKellen (Magneto) reprising their roles from the former Fox X-Men films. The return to the Fox X-Men universe has only heightened hopes for a Deadpool & Wolverine reunion within Doomsday. Given Reynolds' history of teasing fans with playful misdirection, many are reading the Instagram post as more than just a joke. Marvel Studios has remained tight-lipped about the possibility. A spokesperson declined to comment on casting rumours, saying only that Avengers: Doomsday will feature "some of the most unexpected alliances in MCU history." For now, the speculation game continues - and if Reynolds' online track record is anything to go by, fans can expect more cryptic clues before the studio makes anything official. Avengers: Doomsday is currently set for worldwide release in May 2026.
