12th August 2026 – (Cascais) Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have confirmed they are married following an intimate civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, on 11th August 2026, sharing a joint Instagram photograph in white attire that prominently displayed their wedding rings. The post, captioned “C❤️G”, offered the first clear confirmation of their nuptials after years of speculation.

Within roughly an hour, the update drew more than 8.5 million likes, underscoring the global interest in the couple. The ceremony was kept deliberately low‑key and was attended by their five children: Cristiano Jr., twins Eva and Mateo, Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda.

The timing coincided with the first anniversary of Rodríguez’s engagement announcement on 11th August 2025. The wedding followed days of false rumours that the pair would marry at Funchal Cathedral in Madeira, where crowds gathered on 8th August for an unrelated ceremony, while the couple chose to exchange vows privately in Cascais.

Ronaldo, 41, and Rodríguez, 32, first met in Madrid when she was working at a Gucci store, and their relationship became public in 2017. Since then, Ronaldo’s club career has taken him from Spain to Italy and later Saudi Arabia, while Rodríguez has developed her profile as a model, entrepreneur and reality‑television personality.

The announcement comes in a landmark year for the Portugal captain. During the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he scored twice in Houston on 23rd June as Portugal defeated Uzbekistan 5‑0, becoming the first player to score in six separate World Cup tournaments, adding yet another milestone to a storied career.
