Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez Got Married in Portugal
Ronaldo, 41, and Rodríguez, 32, married in an intimate civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, according to People. The ceremony was reportedly private and centered around their family, with their five children present for the occasion.
Instead of unveiling their wedding with an elaborate celebrity photo shoot, Ronaldo and Rodríguez kept their announcement remarkably simple. A joint Instagram post showed the newlyweds dressed in white and wearing rings on their left ring fingers.
The understated reveal was especially notable considering the enormous interest surrounding the Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez wedding. For years, fans have wondered when the couple would finally marry. Now, there is no more guessing.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez Confirm Marriage With Rings

Wedding Rumors Caused Chaos Days Before the Real Ceremony
The actual wedding arrived just days after one of the strangest chapters in the couple's wedding story. On August 8, hundreds of people gathered outside Funchal Cathedral in Madeira after rumors spread that Ronaldo and Rodríguez were secretly getting married there.

Only days later, Ronaldo and Rodríguez managed to pull off the real celebration far more privately.
