Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are officially married

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have married.

The Portuguese football star and his longtime partner tied the knot on Tuesday, August 11, 2026 in a private civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal.

Ronaldo's communications team confirmed the wedding, with Reuters and Associated Press both reporting the marriage.

Where did Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina get married?

The ceremony took place in Cascais, a coastal town near Lisbon.

It was a private event. Associated Press reports that the family's five children attended the ceremony.

The couple also marked the occasion on Instagram with a picture of their wedding rings. Reuters confirms that a joint social-media post accompanied the announcement.

A wedding after almost a decade together

Ronaldo and Rodríguez have been together since 2016.

They met in Madrid while Georgina was working at a Gucci store.

Their relationship subsequently became one of the most closely followed personal stories connected to world football.

The couple announced their engagement in August 2025, approximately one year before their wedding.

Why is Ronaldo's wedding trending?

The announcement has caused a sharp rise in Google searches across several countries.

In France, “georgina rodriguez” is an active Google trend with more than 5,000 searches and a 600% increase over the previous 24 hours at the time of verification.

In the United Kingdom, “cristiano ronaldo” has generated more than 20,000 searches with a 1,000% increase. Google lists “georgina rodríguez” and “ronaldo wedding” among the related searches.

In Portugal, “casamento ronaldo e georgina” has generated more than 10,000 searches and is up 700%.

These Google Trends figures are a snapshot of the trends observed at the time of verification and may change quickly.

False wedding rumours came first

The real wedding comes only days after an unusual incident in Portugal.

Hundreds of supporters gathered outside a cathedral in Funchal, Madeira, believing Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez were getting married there.

The ceremony was actually for a different couple.

Ronaldo and Rodríguez then married for real several days later in Cascais.

Beware of fake wedding pictures

The huge attention surrounding the wedding has also produced misleading social-media posts.

Pictures claiming to show Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland and Harry Kane attending the ceremony have circulated online.

Those images were identified as artificial and should not be treated as evidence that the players attended. SportInBref therefore does not include those claims as fact.

Cristiano Ronaldo remains an active footballer

At 41, Ronaldo is still playing professionally.

Associated Press reports that he is preparing for the new domestic season with Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr after appearing at a sixth World Cup for Portugal.

His marriage to Rodríguez therefore comes while one of football's most famous careers is still continuing.
