Aug. 12 (UPI) -- Cristiano Ronaldo married longtime partner Georgina Rodriguez in a civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal.
Ronaldo announced the marriage Tuesday on Instagram and Facebook, sharing a photo of his hand resting on top of his wife's with rings on each of their fingers.
The Portuguese striker included a caption with each of their initials and a heart symbol.
A press release stated that the couple tied the knot Tuesday in a civil ceremony in the coastal town, located about 20 miles west of Lisbon. Ronaldo, 41, and Rodriguez, 32, share five children, who attended the ceremony. The couple announced their engagement Aug. 11, 2025.
Ronaldo met Rodriguez when she worked as a sales assistant in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid. She detailed their romance in the Netflix series I Am Georgina.
Rodriguez said in the show that she had "butterflies" in her stomach. Ronaldo has described the meeting as "love at first sight."
Ronaldo joined Lionel Messi as the first two players to appear in six separate World Cups earlier this summer. He is the only player to score in six editions of the tournament.
His domestic club, Al-Nassr will launch its Saudi Pro League campaign against Al Fateh at 2 p.m. EDT Saturday in Riyadh.
