Speculation has been swirling around Cristiano Ronaldo and his longtime girlfriend, Georgina Rodríguez, after the soccer star referred to her as his “wife” in a recent video. But who exactly is the woman in question?

Rodríguez, 30, has been by Ronaldo’s side since 2017 after they met at a Gucci store where she worked. Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and raised in Jaca, Spain, Rodríguez has carved out her own space in the spotlight, balancing her roles as a model, influencer, and mother.

The recent buzz began when Ronaldo, in a workout video for the fitness brand Whoop, mentioned, “When I’m not training in the club, I like to work with my wife at home. I can push her and she can push me, too.” This comment led fans to speculate if the couple had secretly tied the knot.

Rodríguez has earned herself a significant following on social media, where she frequently shares glimpses of her life with the soccer star and their children. The couple shares two daughters: Alana, 6, and Bella, 2. Additionally, Rodríguez is a step-mom to Ronaldo’s three other children: Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., 13, whom he shares with a mystery woman, and twins Eva and Mateo, 7, born via surrogacy.

The couple faced a heartbreaking loss in 2022 when Bella’s twin brother died during childbirth. Rodríguez opened up about this tragedy in her docuseries I Am Georgina, saying, “My priority right now is my family and my children. I’m so happy and so thankful. Life goes on. I have reasons to move on and be strong.”

At this time, the couple has not officially confirmed their marital status.
