Superstar footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and his fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, are reportedly set to marry next summer in a Christian ceremony on his home island of Madeira. According to Jornal da Madeira, the couple will exchange vows at the historic Funchal Cathedral, with a lavish reception planned at a luxury hotel shortly after the 2026 World Cup.
The pair announced their engagement in August after more than nine years together. Ronaldo, 40, recently shared details of the intimate and unplanned proposal—complete with a £1.5 million ring—during an interview with Piers Morgan.
“It was like 1am. My daughters were asleep,” he recalled. “A friend gave me the ring to offer Gio, and just as I was giving it to her, my two kids walked in and said, ‘Daddy, you’re going to give the ring to mum and ask her to get married.’ I thought, ‘Wow, this is the right moment.’”
Although unprepared to drop to one knee, Ronaldo said the moment was heartfelt and sincere. “It was simple. I’m not the kind of guy who brings flowers every week, but I’m romantic in my own way. I knew she was the woman of my life.”
Ronaldo is a father of five: Cristiano Jr., twins Eva and Mateo via surrogacy, and daughters Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda with Georgina. The couple, believed to have met in 2016 during his Real Madrid days, has remained inseparable ever since.
