Inside Cristiano Ronaldo's Relationship With Georgina Rodriguez
By PHIL ARCHBOLD
First Meeting
Georgina Rodriguez was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid when she first laid eyes on Cristiano Ronaldo, who had just popped in to do a bit of shopping.
According to Rodriguez, the soccer star came in for some designer clothing and left with her heart. "It was love at first sight for both of us," she later confessed.
Leaving Gucci
Once she started dating Ronaldo, Rodriguez was asked to step down from her role at Gucci — and later at Prada — as she started getting swarmed by fans, journalists, and paparazzi.
Rodriguez eventually moved away from sales and signed a contract with premier modeling agency Uno Models, but that didn't stop photographers and reporters from hounding her.
Having A Baby
Rodriguez gave birth to Ronaldo's second daughter, Alana Martina, via C-section at Madrid's Hospital Universitario Quironsalud in November 2017.
Alana's arrival "has definitely brought us closer," Rodriguez told Hello! at the time. "We're happier together than ever. I'm very proud of him."
Rodriguez And Kids
Rodriguez has become a mother figure to all of Ronaldo's kids and is often seen hanging out with Cristiano Jr., whether it's on the sidelines at a soccer game or out and about.
"The place where I am happiest is my home, with my children and partner. Our house is our refuge, our temple built with so much love," Rodriguez told Hola! magazine.
Ronaldo’s Take
In an in-depth interview with Piers Morgan in 2019, Ronaldo discussed his relationship with Rodriguez and said, "She helped me so much. […] Of course, I'm in love with her."
"She's my friend. We have conversations. I open the heart for her, she opens the heart for me," Ronaldo continued. The couple was rumored to have married in secret later that year.
