Originally from the northeastern Spanish city of Jaca, Cristiano Ronaldo‘s partner Georgina Rodriguez worked as a waitress in her hometown before moving in with a family in Bristol, England. She was working as a shop assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid where she met the Portugal star.

“His height, his body, his beauty caught my attention. I was trembling in front of him, but a spark ignited. I am very shy and perhaps this stirred me more in front of a person who, with one glance, had touched me deeply. Then after, the way Cristiano treats me, cares for me and loves me did the rest,” she said in an interview with AS.

They were first snapped together in public in late 2016. Most memorably, Ronaldo was photographed sporting a wig and sunglasses in an attempt to disguise himself during a trip to Disneyland Paris.

The two have since been steady and Rodriguez has attended most of his matches. She also attends FIFA awards with Ronaldo’s mother, sisters and son.

In 2017, Rodriguez gave birth to a baby girl, Alana Martina.

“Alana Martina is just born! Both Geo and Alana are doing great! We are all very happy!'” Ronaldo wrote on social media while sharing the news. 

In an interview with ITV in 2019, Ronaldo described finding “true love” in Georgina.

“She helped me so much. Of course, I’m in love with her,” he said, adding that his mother’s dream is to see him and Georgina walk down the aisle one day. 

“We’ll be [married] one day, for sure. It’s my mum’s dream as well. So, one day. Why not? It’s great. She’s my friend. We have conversations. I open the heart for her and she opens the heart for me,” he said.
