Who is Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez? Model is soul-mate of Man Utd superstar and mum to kids
GEORGINA RODRIGUEZ is enjoying life in Saudi Arabia following Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to Al-Nassr.
The family moved to the Gulf state at the end of 2022 after both Manchester United and CR7 agreed to end the striker’s time at Old Trafford.
With an astonishing 140 goals, Ronaldo is currently the all-time Champions League record goalscorer.
The Portuguese icon is still hitting crazy numbers after scoring eight goals in four games and claiming February’s Saudi League Player of the Month award.
Who is Georgina Rodriguez?
Georgina Rodriguez grew up in Jaca, a city in northeastern Spain and part of the province of Huesca, near the Pyrenees.
She was born to a Spanish mum and an Argentinian dad.
Georgina learned dance before changing careers to modelling after studying English in London.
The Sun revealed that her father is a convicted cocaine trafficker named Jorge Rodriguez, who spent ten years in jail.
The 29-year-old was first spotted on a string of dates with then-Real Madrid superstar Ronaldo towards the end of 2016.
Georgina has claimed that her first meeting with the football star was “love at first sight.”
“Our first meeting was at Gucci, where I worked as a sales assistant,” she recalled in an interview with The Sun .
“Days later, we saw each other again at another brand’s event.
“It was then that we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside my work environment. It was love at first sight for both.”
News of her relationship with the footballer began to emerge in November 2016 when they were snapped walking around Disneyland Paris arm-in-arm and publicly showing their affection for one another.
And despite putting on a disguise, the Italian magazine Chi was able to identify Ronaldo as he cuddled up to his new love interest.
Georgina gave birth to baby daughter Alana Martina on November 12, 2017, with Ronaldo posting a picture on Instagram, writing: “Alana Martina is just born! Both Geo and Alana are doing great! We are all very happy!'”
And just over two years later, the pair were forced to deny rumours that they had got hitched in a low-key ceremony in Morocco.

Ronaldo wrote on social media: “It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away.
“It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel.

“We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support.
