Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are the most influential couple on social media
Find here what other couples made it to the list
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are the most influential celebrity couple, according to a new study conducted by KeyOpinionLeaders. Researchers looked at Twitter and Instagram followers for 125 celebrity couples to see who has the most considerable combined online influence.
They found that global football megastar Cristiano Ronaldo and Spanish model Georgina Rodríguez take the crown as the most influential celebrity couple, with a combined following of 646.8 million followers - nearly 175 million followers more than the second-place celebrity couple.
The couple, who first started dating in late 2016, crossed paths while Rodríguez worked as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Spain. The pair fell quickly in love and now live with their family of five children in Cascais, Portugal, where they recently purchased a luxury pad that totaled around £17 million.
Their enormous online following is primarily led by Ronaldo’s Instagram page, which recently surpassed 500 million followers in the account’s history for the second time. Rodríguez also holds a prominent place on the platform, with 39.4 million Instagram followers of her own, to contribute to the couples’ overall online following.
“With the 2022 World Cup underway and a recent decision to leave premier league club Manchester United, Ronaldo is perhaps one of the most talked about people in the world right now,” said Ana Codallo, Influencer Officer at KeyOpinionLeaders. “It makes sense that someone so widely recognized places top of the list, alongside partner Georgina Rodríguez, to be crowned as the most influential celebrity couple.
The second most influential couple were found to be internet personality Kylie Jenner and rapper and record producer Travis Scott, with a combined following of 471.9 million followers across their Twitter and Instagram accounts.
The couple, who first started dating back in April 2017, have two children together, Stormi, born in 2018, and Wolf, born in February earlier this year. The couple has since decided on a different name for Wolf, but they have not yet disclosed this to the public.
Pop singer Justin Bieber and model Hailey Bieber are taking the third spot, who have a grand total of 428.4 million followers across their socials. The couple were first introduced to one another back in 2009 by Hailey’s father, Stephen Baldwin, but it wasn’t until 2015 that the pair became romantically involved.
The two remained friends for a few years, before rekindling their romance in June 2018. By October of the same year, they confirmed they were married, and that Hailey would be adopting the Bieber surname.
In fourth place are Argentinian footballer Lionel Messi and his spouse Antonela Roccuzzo who have a combined 398.8 million followers in total. The pair’s online following is predominantly fueled by Messi’s enormous number of Instagram followers, as neither has an active Twitter account. Roccuzzo contributes a healthy 20.8 million Instagram followers of her own to the couple’s overall total.
Rounding off the top five is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and his partner Lauren Hashian, with a combined following of 367.1 million followers. Famous for his hulking physique and legendary cheat days, ‘The Rock’ understandably makes up the bulk of the total followers; however, Lauren contributes a respectable 1.2 million Instagram followers of her own to the couple’s overall total.
